Yes, I believe the the law in most states is that you take your wages of $35 (average) and turn it to your employer, and they have to make up the difference. It's their part in civic duty.
I sat on an all day jury selection that paid me for the day of $12! I was glad it was me they called and not dh for how were we to pay for the house at 12 a day? Here no one makes up the difference. I wasn't picked to go on to the trial. That went on for 2 weeks and they took a bus out of town for it. I would still do it again w/o complaint.....but, I believe 'you do the crime you do the time'....:)They prob won't call me:)LOL Skeat
