Time off and payment while on jury service
You must be allowed time off by your employer if you are called up to serve on a jury.
Employers do not have to pay you while you're doing jury service, but many do. If they do not pay you, you can claim a loss of earnings allowance from the court.
Find out more about time off and payment while on jury service, at GOV.UK.
