Jury - Must an employer pay an employee who on jury duty?

Question

I've currently been selected for jury duty in June. I have a quick question about how the law works with payment from your employer. I've been told that you're employer does not have to pay you for your time out as a juror. Is this correct?

Answer

Whether or not an employee gets paid by his/her employer while on jury duty is determined by each employer's policy.
