Yeah do they not legally have to pay you for it in the us or something? That's messed up

and some employers require the jury duty pay, if you want your full 8hr shift to be paid. it really isnt fair to force employers to pay the jurors thier full usual hours. its the city and state that should pay thier full wage amount for that day. but they dont, they know they cant get by with paying less than 15$/day.

In most (maybe all) states, you do get paid by the state, but it is something hilariously low. In my state it is $20 a day I believe, which is not much above the minimum hourly wage for my area.

ours is 15/day if you are chosen, ive heard people its as low as 5$, and a small pittance for gas/travel expenses. federal court is rarer but they can pay up to 40$/day in some cases.

The assholes in my city don't even pay you enough to cover parking in the local parking garages they fucking recommend you use, let alone gas or meal expenses, for the day.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

the cities make money from revenue of parking tickets, parking fees.
