> ? You pay your employer what you were paid for jury service? Bank transfer I guess, but also probably illegal
That happens when you are salaried and your company pays you your normal salary for the time you are in jury duty. They already paid for your time, they are entitled to the (generally much lower) compensation that the state pays you.
Oh I see. It's kind of just reversed here then - it's not paid, but if your employer doesn't pay you (i.e. gives you unpaid time off for it) then you can claim capped loss of earnings.
Seems like it would be easier in US case just to reduce pay though, time off at 80% or whatever rather than full and then request it paid back...
