And what if you were selected to serve on a jury for a trial lasting 3 or 4 weeks? It sounds like it could be a significant problem for you. When I did serve on a jury in the early 1990's the trial did last 3 weeks. My manager at the time wasn't too happy, but i worked nights and weekends, and my employer paid me for all 3 weeks.
Fast forward to today...my current employer only pays employees for 10 days of jury duty. After that you have to "work it out with your manager." Probably means the employee would have to work nights and weekends to continue to get paid. Hopefully I won't have to experience another lengthy stint of jury duty as long as I am still working.
