UK perspective:

- bank transfer

- cash

- direct debit

- bank transfer or PAYE

- direct debit

- standing order (recurring bank transfer)

- direct debit

- card

- ? You pay your employer what you were paid for jury service? Bank transfer I guess, but also probably illegal

- would likely be deducted on payslip (because tax & accounting implications of below market value gift) or via a third-party that would most likely accept card

- free

That happens when you are salaried and your company pays you your normal salary for the time you are in jury duty. They already paid for your time, they are entitled to the (generally much lower) compensation that the state pays you.

Oh I see. It's kind of just reversed here then - it's not paid, but if your employer doesn't pay you (i.e. gives you unpaid time off for it) then you can claim capped loss of earnings.

Seems like it would be easier in US case just to reduce pay though, time off at 80% or whatever rather than full and then request it paid back...
