Cant your DH take leave? Or you trade hours with a neighbor or friend?

That's unfair. They do not pay enough to cover childcare expenses that are not usually incurred. If you work, you receive your usual salary. [b]If you don't, you get ton thing if you aren't chosen and $30 per day if you are[/b]. That does not cover the cost of our school's drop in aftercare.[/quote]

Only some people get their salary.  People who are paid hourly generally do not.[/quote]

This is not true.  Not that I needed it (thankfully) but I got paid for the day I showed up in Arlington it was $20 or $30.  I was not selected for the jury.

It looks like Federal is $40. While that is not enough to cover childcare for the day it is better than nothing. [/quote]

That's not what PP was talking about. My employer, for example, will pay my regular salary if I got called to jury duty. My sister's employer, on the other hand, would not pay her salary and she would in essence be taking a vacation day or no pay to go to court. That's what they're talking about, not what jury pay is. Which is ridiculous. [/quote]
