Woah! That is bad. Here in England you get £5 a day (about $8.50) for food, but up to £60 a day for your time (about $105) if you earn that much in your job. And they had free internet in the court I was in! Do you get a bunch of no-shows each time? Or are they really harsh on that?
here they rely on one's workplace covering part of the juror's pay, inasmuch as they care at all. My workplace, basically, covers half of time missed but many pay nothing at all.
Honestly, I don't really think they do anything to no-shows. They could issue an arrest warrant, but I've never heard of it happening. I hear rumors of people who just throw out the notices every year, but then when they called roll, almost everyone was there.
