If the company you work for won't pay your salary while you're serving jury duty you should probably start looking for another job that treats you with respect.

- koolba 3y agoFrom what I’ve heard it’s a great way out of jury duty. When the judge asks if there’s any reason you can’t serve, you can honestly tell him, “If I don’t work, I don’t get paid”.

The judge asked if he would suffer any immediate or irreparable harm, such as the lights being turned off, being evicted, having your house or car repossessed, etc. Just having to miss payments wasn't sufficient. He wasn't dismissed. The standard was pretty high.

When the judge asks if there’s any reason you can’t serve, you can honestly tell him, “If I don’t work, I don’t get paid”. I've been in several panels from which jury selection was being done, and in the screening-for-hardships portion, those type of things were not, in and of themselves, hardships. Its rather the norm for private employers not to pay for jury duty, leaving you only with the rather minimal jury stipend.
