Questions about payment for service Back to top
Pursuant to section 230(a) of the Labor Code, your employer cannot prevent you from serving as a juror and is not required to pay you while on jury duty. However, the Superior Court will pay you $15.00 per day starting with your second day of service, plus mileage. (CCP 215) Government employees are not entitled to per diem for serving jury duty if they receive regular compensation and benefits while performing jury service from their employer. A government employee is one employed by federal, state or a local government entity or by any other public entity such as the Regents of the University of California, a county, a city, district, public authority, public agency, and any other political subdivision or public corporation in the state (CCP 481.200).
