Have not served on Jury Duty before.

Your company might pay you the difference, ask your HR about it.

Yep, I showed up, then I got dismissed at noon for lack of anything to do. Bring something to read. Last time Amber went, not a single trial even called a jury that day.

I'm not hourly or nothing, so I get paid regardless of whether I show up. However, I am required to hand in the $10 per day or whatever that Oregon pays in order to receive my salary.

However, if you're subject to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) you should ask. If I remember correctly, Argon ST provides a charge number for jury duty.

Defense contractors take time charging very seriously since the data feeds into future work estimates.

The date is in October, so I dunno what program I'm on specifically but it won't be a for the government (I'm working for le french atm). From my coworker have said I just use the normal "Personal Buisness" (since here we dont get sick leave hours, just charge numbers they monitor incase anyone abuses)
