All employees must be allowed to take time off for jury service.
Employers can choose to pay staff for time taken off, but they do not have to.
The Court will pay the employee for the time spent on Jury service and employee will be given a statement of earnings notification which employee then gets employer to complete and then give to Court to claim for loss of earnings.
If employer chooses to pay employee whilst on Jury service, then it would be expected that the employee then repays the employer any payments from the Court that they receive for loss of earnings.
Alternatively, an employer can if they wish, but not obliged to do so, top up the employees earnings they receive from the Court.
