Piqued my curiosity, Linda. Googled jury pay in my county and came up with:
"Juror compensation is outlined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 215(a). There is no compensation for your first day of jury service. Starting on your second day of attendance, you will receive $15 per day. You are also eligible for reimbursement of some travel expenses. You may either receive mileage reimbursement of thirty-four cents ($0.34) per mile for each mile actually travelled during your round-trip to and from the courthouse from your home or you may receive reimbursement for round-trip public transit fare not to exceed a daily maximum of $12. The court mails checks to jurors every other week."
If I am enpanelled, guess I can pretend to be working those low-ball $50 signings. I'd probably profit more from jury duty and can be guaranteed payment. LOL!
Seriously though, thanks to God I've done well this month so far, reminicent of working during the C-19 lockdown. A little break for jury duty won't hurt as much. Guess I'll find out soon enough.
