ZD – when I was called up, I was told that I wouldn’t get paid at all (maybe some of the transportation costs, I don’t remember exactly), and it would have ending up meaning a tremendous loss of parnassah for me, since I was hired for a subbing job right around the dates when my jury duty was supposed to start, and it wouldn’t have been yashar for me to accept the subbing job knowing that I had jury duty then.
However, Boruch Hashem, I did my research and figured out that I was unlikely to have to go in since I had a high number, so I told the person hiring me about the jury duty but I also told her that I thought it was highly unlikely that I would actually have to go in. She was a bit nervous, but she believed me and gave me the job anyhow, and Boruch Hashem, I turned out to be right!
