I don’t know if it was a California thing or not, but back in the day they used to pay you $5 a day for jury duty. The aerospace company I worked at paid full salary for jury duty days, but for a while they required your to reimburse the company for the $5/day. It sort of makes sense philosophically because you don’t need the court compensation if you’re getting guilt paid, but it always seemed kind of cheap. I think they stopped that because they realized it was costing them more to process the reimbursement than they were getting from it.
Agreed. Like I said it makes sense philosophically, it’s just the amount is so low it seems miserly.
On the other hand, the company pays full salary for unlimited jury days, which I think is unusual, so I don’t think they’re being cheap at all in reality.
Yep, $40 a day and 65.5 cents per mile.
What! I’m getting robbed at 55 cents/mi!

Malicious compliance does it again!
It hasn’t been that since like 2018. https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/standard-mileage-rates
