how much do you get paid for jury duty nsw

In New South Wales (NSW), jurors receive a daily allowance for jury duty. For the first 10 days of service, all jurors are paid $106.30 per day. After day 11, employed jurors, including self-employed, receive $247.40 per day. Jurors who are not employed continue to receive $106.30 per day even after day 11. Additionally, jurors receive a travel allowance of 30.7 cents per kilometer traveled to the courthouse, with a maximum of 100 kilometers. Employers are required by law to pay full-time and permanent part-time employees their usual wages for the first 10 days of jury duty, but casual employees are not entitled to make-up pay from employers. Public servants are paid by their agencies during jury duty and do not receive the jury allowance. Jurors also receive one meal per day when serving on a jury, or they may claim a meal allowance of $6.95 if they bring their own lunch. Payments are made weekly by electronic funds transfer to the juror's nominated bank account. This means jury duty pay in NSW aims to compensate for lost income but may not fully cover regular wages especially for those who earn more than the allowance or are casual employees without employer top-up pay.
