To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide for individuals serving as Federal jurors to continue to receive their normal average wage or salary during such service.

Summary

Amends the Federal judicial code to require the employer of a Federal grand or petit juror to pay to that juror, for each day during which such individual performs jury duty, a wage not less than the differential compensation less the aggregate amount of any fees and allowances paid to the juror for that day. Defines "differential compensation" to mean: (1) if that juror has a regular employment schedule with that employer, the wage or salary that the juror would have been paid for that day but for that juror's performance of jury duty; and (2) if that juror does not have a regular schedule with that employer, the average daily wage or salary of the juror during the seven-day period ending on the day before the juror first performed jury duty. Defines "employer" to include any public or private employer. Allows a person summoned for jury service to be excused upon a showing by his or her employer that payment of differential compensation would result in significant hardship to the employer.
