Some employers will give you paid time off, completely separate from your vacation, if you have jury duty. I think this is their way of saying “If you are collecting paid time off for Jury Duty from your employer, you need to actually be here for Jury Duty.”

Yeah. It’s crazy how much easier life gets if you work for a company that treats its employees well. My company makes you forfeit the check that the court gives you (the $9/day or whatever it is), but in turn, they give you the full day’s wage.
