Yes, if you miss you're scheduled hours for jury duty you will be paid as if you had attended work.
No. When I was called for jury duty, I knew the attorney, prosecutor, the judge and knew about the case. I still had to report, but was eventually dismissed. Ridiculous.
Jury duty, in the United States, is considered to be a part of an individual's civic duty. The right to a trial by a jury of one's peers is guaranteed by the United States' Constitution. A jury is supposed to be representative of a particular region to ensure a fair trial for the person being accused of a crime. As a result of the importance of the jury in a trial, there are consequences for not reporting to jury duty. The consequences of not reporting to jury duty depend on the region in which the individual resides. In general, individuals who do not report to jury duty can be found in contempt of court, can be heavily fined, and can be subject to questioning as to why the individual did not report to jury duty.
Yes. All citizens can be called for jury duty.
it is the law when you get jury duty in the mail you do it for free...
yes an employer has to pay the employee for jury duty and can not fire or discipline the employee in any way for time lost due to jury duty
No. If you are paid by the court for your days and if you get paid by your job the rule is that you are suppose to pay your job the amount you made on the jury. If the jury duty causes you a hardship when you go into the court to report for jury duty tell them so and most courts will allow you to not serve.
Wages while on jury duty are up to the employer and are usually covered in the company's employee handbook, if one exists. The only requirement is that the employer allow the employee to serve jury duty and deploy no retaliation for time off.

No, Target Stores does not pay employees who are on jury duty. Up until recently, an employee could request a letter stating the store policy from the Target HR department so it could be submitted along with a statement saying that financial hardship would result from serving on a jury and not being paid by Target. Target now officially, on their employee website, states that they support an employee serving on a jury, although they will not pay the employee for the lost days. It says Target will not use jury duty against an employee. I am not sure what you would call not paying them their already inadequate hourly pay.
YES, if you are a full time employee and have been employed for 6 months. There are some other fine print but basically, the employee shall be entitled to the employee's usual compensation for time received from such employment (including travel and jury duty time). The employer has the discretion to deduct the amount of the fee or compensation the employee receives for serving as a juror from the court. No employer shall be required to compensate an employee for more time than was actually spent serving and traveling to and from jury duty.
Jury duty policy refers to the rules and regulations governing the selection and service of individuals on a jury. It outlines the eligibility criteria, obligations, and rights of potential jurors, as well as the penalties for non-compliance or failure to attend. The policy aims to ensure a fair and impartial jury selection process for the administration of justice.

Please post another question mentioning which state you're in...it makes a big difference. Under federal law, an employer does not have to pay you for jury duty. (However, some states including Colorado do require payment.) However, the employer cannot fire you or otherwise discipline you for the time off for jury duty. (Be aware, however, that if you're only on jury duty part of the day, you need to report to work the other part of the day.)
You are summoned to jury duty. This means that you receive a jury summons to perform your jury duty.
