medical transcription & Jury duty pay? - Just Sayin


Posted: Jun 14, 2010

Does anybody know for sure if we get paid for jury duty?  I'm thinking we do, but don't remember for sure.  Just got summons today.  But also, I have a 10-year-old son home with me all day in the summer and I am wondering if I can get out of it because of that.  Anybody know or have any advice, I'd appreciate it!

yes, we get paid - even if you are PT

in my state, GA, they do not care if you have a child at home with you, makes no difference.

I never got paid... - In fact, I had to make up time

I was forced to make up the time that I missed by having to go to Jury Duty and never got paid!!!

Why do some people at this company get everything and some of us get nothing? I don't get it.

Just sayin' - sick and tired

It is the only thing I EVER got in 6 years, but I did get bereavement pay and jury duty pay. I was surprised also. Figured it would have been illegal not to pay me so they had to?

With all the bad things about MQ, I must say that last year I had three immediate deaths in my family and a week-long jury duty. They paid all bereavement leave (didn't even ask for proof by the third one, which I wouldn't have even gotten mad if they had; it was kind of ridiculous-sounding by that point) and the jury duty.

I am unhappy with a lot of stuff, but they did step up with the benefits for me last year.

Had jury duty a few months ago.... - sm

FT will get it paid at an hourly rate. However, PT is not paid for jury duty and is suggested to "make-up" the time.

I never made any of it up, but at least my jury duty mileage made up for the lost MQ paycheck.

I got paid from MQ for my jury duty - i think it depends on your CCM

or depends on your state - just got notice

a few months ago that my state would now be paid jury duty pay from MQ.

Trying To Figure Out Jury Duty Time Off
Apr 28, 2010

I've been trying to figure out jury duty time off.  I'm PT and see a lot of info for the FT folks and PT in certain states, not mine, but don't see anything other than that.  Does that mean they won't release me for jury duty?  I kind of thought companies were required to let you off for Jury duty.  Where I live, I can only opt out of Jury duty if I can prove an actual hardship and I don't believe MQ disallowing me to go constitutes that.  If anybody has experienc ...

I quit a job a dozen years ago to jump into the "Work At Home" dream.  I had little money, was quite naive, worked from dark to dark with absolutely no help from the small MTSO, who later ripped me off $5,000.  BUT, I learned. After my first experience with "running out of work", I just found more work.  I got unusually lucky and found a job and was MTing again in a few days. That gig gave me nearly 10 years of working for another small MTSO.  I got busy and made tons of mon ...
