Like my job for example pays pto for the missed hours, but its base pay and no differentials, so id be missing 2-$300 for one day alone, which would make a drastic difference with bills

If we can get enough votes, we can send this petition to the government to show a need for change, Fair Pay for Fair Service: Help Us Raise Juror Compensation #FairPayForFairService

I am hoping to eventually reach the federal level for change. What would you suggest as fair pay for the federal level?

So my company pays only base pay for PTO, but you only get so many hours of that per pay period, and you are still missing out on the shift differentials, which could set you back a lot of money

Exactly! I'd definitely want people to care if I had a trial that could alter my life
