I think if you are self employed you can argue that you can not do it as you will lose your earnings. If you have to do it though, I think they only give you a bit, just enough to cover travel costs and get something to eat, (but try doing that on about 5 quid!).
So basically, they don't! If you want to get out of it, pretend to be prejudice or sumthing! |

I beleive you get expenses rather than being paid.
These I think are claimed at the court when you re serving.

the court clerk will give you a form to fill in you need your tax reference and national insurance no and they pay you. Take a book to read or something cos it is the most boring thing i have ever done. i am self employed and took my laptop to do some work while i was there hanging around. they were not impressed at all. i wasted 3 days |

i think that you can put a claim into the court for expenses. i don't know whether this would include lost earnings but you could try |

the court do. even if your employed by a company they just claim it back of the court. if your called for jury service you should receive the information of how to claim your money etc |

The court in the US pays everyone for doing jury duty whether you are employed or not. Some business will not penalize their employees for serving and will pay their employees their regular rate of pay if they can prove they were on jury duty. If you are self employed you will still receive pay from the court. Jury duty does not pay much, usually a small amount plus mileage and gas, but it is your duty as a citizen to perform it. You should feel honored to do so. |

you have to fill in a form off the courts and claim back loss off earnings that's the only way I'm afraid |

You can in many situations, defer it once so you don't have to do it.
As a small business owner you would almost certainly be able to do this.
However, you can only do this once ever. |
