Jurors who fail to show adequate cause for their absence from jury duty may be fined not more than $1,000, imprisoned not more than three days, ordered to perform community service, or any combination thereof.

If a part-time employee's daily wage is less than the jury fee, then the employer must pay that wage as a jury fee and the State will make up the difference. Which employers must pay the jury fee?Employers are encouraged but not required to pay an employee's full daily wage while the employee is serving as a juror. You could potentially fit more than one jury before your 'jury duty' is complete. For your time you will be paid a small stipend. The federal Jury Systems Improvement Act requires all employers to provide unpaid leave to employees serving as jurors in federal courts. An employer may offset any fees the employee received from the court for their service. If you're not selected to sit on a jury, you'll still get paid for your time. Give your completed claim form and proof of expenses to court staff. Other states, such as New York, do not have an upper age limit in place.
