There is no obligation to pay an employee who is absent for jury service, but if the employee loses pay they may recover all or part of their lost earnings from HM Courts & Tribunals Service. The daily maximum allowance will depend on how many hours and days the juror has served. Allowances are also available to cover a juror’s travel and sustenance expenses.
