Jury can describe employer-paid time off, unpaid leave or a record of jury service. Court attendance payments are separate from employer salary. Employer obligations vary with employee status, law and policy.
How to read this entry
Use the meaning Jury-duty pay or leave alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
