No. Unless serving in the military or suffering a debilitating injury, jury duty is a civic requirement and it is a crime to avoid it. If your employer (aside from the U.S. Armed Forces) prohibits you from serving jury duty, they are committing a crime and you can file a complaint with your state's department of labor.
