You may want to consider researching this info beforehand.\n\nRemember, It is up to the employer how you are paid for working on a Holiday even though there are state laws that they must abide by.\n\nCheck out this link regarding laws from your state:\nhttp://www.state.ar.us/labor/\n\nHope this info helps you.\n\nHave a wonderful Thanksgiving.\n\nGod Bless.....

I doubt it, since jury duty is not considered a job and is more considered a duty to your government, but I would double check with your unemployment office just in case.

Does my employer count?

One of these days it will be in the mailbox. It will tell you when and where to report. If you need to get out you can ask for a different date, or go and talk to the judge and explain why it would be a hardship for you to serve. The odds of getting out depend on where you live and how difficult it is to get quilified jurors. If you can serve do it and you will probably enjoy the experience.

If the lessee pays you for the driver's work, and you tell the driver where to go and what to do, he would most likely be classified as your employee.  Worker's compensation is another matter entirely.  In Georgia, for example, you do not need worker's compensation unless you have at least three employees, including officers.

To be required to work without just/due compensation.

I hate to tell you, but Nebraska does not have any laws that require them to pay overtime:\n\n"The state wage and hour laws are far from uniform in their treatment of overtime\npremiums. Seventeen states have NO general provision for maximum hours before "overtime"\npremium pay is required. Therefore, these states do not need and do not have any prescribed\novertime premium rate of pay. The states are Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,\nIowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,\nTexas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming."

Probably.  They do all the time for Social Security, withholding taxes, and other things.  If a court orders them to garnish wages, they can also do that.  Is there a specific reason that they're saying?

Yes, they do. Anyone called for jury duty must report to the court..If you have a very good reason, to not appear, such as being ill, or disabled, you must show the proof to the court clerk, or contact them, and explain your situation..A letter from your doctor, will be enough..

Only if you are paid an hourly rate.  If you work commission or salary then no.

Not in the US.  You don't have to swear it on the bible, but you do have to take an oath.  I believe you would be held in contempt of court if you refused, as it amounts to refusing to serve on a jury when summoned for jury duty.

I'm not a lawyer, but Federal Courts typically have jurisdiction over the whole USA.  Moving out of state will not even (automatically) excuse you from ordinary jury duty (personal experience on this), so I'm guessing it's probably more true with a Fed based issue.

OK, first I'll answer your question, then I have to get on my soapbox again.  (I'll warn you when I get there so you can stop reading if you want).\n\nJury duty is a requirement of citizenship.  When summoned into court, you must appear or be subject to (which means sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't) a warrant being issued for your arrest.  I know some counties are really cracking down now on jury dodgers while others still let it slide.  And yes, I have seen it happen where a whole group ignored their summons and they were all brought before the court and offered an option of either paying $5000, serving 5 days in jail or signing up for jury duty (amazing all of them signed up.)\nWhen you go in for jury duty, each court will have a specified list of exceptions (financial hardship etc.) which can either then excuse your service for that year or postpone it for a time. (not everyone is called every year - its' random, but you only have to serve once in a year's time max.) Again, that will vary by court.  Remember though that any questioning done or forms filled out on those exceptions are done under penalty of perjury (a crime) so those who lie, could be caught although I am not sure if that has ever happened or if it has how prevalent it is.\n \nSoapbox time.\nThe ONLY requirement for citizenship is jury duty.  YES it is inconvenient as hell.  BUT, if you or one of your family was in a situation where you needed the court system, I bet you'd hope for good people to come do their duty, right?\nWe are not required to serve in the armed forces and voting is not mandatory, SO, if your life is a little messed up for a couple weeks, it seems to me to be a small price to pay for the freedoms we have. And those who can but refuse to serve are awfully petty and not carrying their weight.

Nope.  Not true.  For instance every police officer called in every courtroom in America is only being paid his/her regual wages just as if he/she were at work on any other day.\n\nThe only rule about expert testimony is that the expert's information must be helpful to the trier of fact and outside the usual knowledge of a lay person.

That question is nearly impossible to answer for a number of reasons.  There may be things about you that make you a desirable juror or an undesireable juror.  And experiences differ so widely.\n\nI am an attorney in California and I am 37.  I have been summoned for to jury duty 4 times in state court, but I have never served on a jury.  I've never been summoned for federal court.  My wife is 38.  She has been summoned once for state and once for federal court.  She served on jury in a rape case.\n\nMy dad is 60 and he's served on one jury.  My mom is 58 and never served on a jury.  My sister is 36 and has never been summoned for jury duty.  Who knows how to explain such a wide variety of experiences and what implications that has for you?

if you have a judgment then yes, they can attach your paycheck if you don't pay the judgment. So you have limited options. Pay the judgment, or let them attach your bank accounts, paychecks, assets, etc. If you did not give them any info on your bank or employer then they will have to go back to court to get that info. So you may have time before that happens. Outside of skipping town and being on the run, I'd just pay the judgment. else you have little recourse with the courts.
