JUROR COMPENSATION
If employed, you must notify your employer immediately upon receipt of your jury summons. Jurors are paid $40 for each day of physical attendance IF they do not receive their regular wages. Jurors who work for an employer with more than 10 employees must be paid by their employer at least $40 of their regular daily wage- whichever is less- for each of the first 3 days of service. The obligation of the employer to pay applies only if the juror is serving on a regularly scheduled work day. If you or your employer have questions, please call the Jury Office.
All jurors who have served in a court of the Unified Court System and who are entitled to juror compensation must present their claims on or before the thirty-first of December of the following year in which services are rendered. Failure to comply with this section shall be a forfeiture for payment for such claims.
