Your rights as a juror

Job protection
Employers may not discharge, threaten, intimidate or coerce a permanent employee for jury service. The employee may return to the same job after notice2
Many counties pay more than the state minimum, and your summons usually says what you will be paid. If something here is not covered, your summons or the court clerk can tell you.
