For New Jersey state-court jury service, the published NJ Courts pay guidance lists $5 per day for petit jurors, increasing to $40 beginning with the fourth consecutive attendance day; grand jurors receive $5 per service day. Covered full-time New Jersey state or local public employees receive their usual compensation instead of a juror fee. Private employers are not generally required by state statute to continue salary during jury service, but an employer policy or union contract may provide it. Confirm your jury type and employment situation with jury management; federal jury service follows different rules.
