Citizens who attend jury selection and duty receive payment and allowances from the court. Currently in Queensland the allowance for attending court each day or part day is $42.25. If empanelled as a juror, the juror receives $126.30 each day or part day in addition to meal allowances.

You are paid an allowance for going to court each day or part-day. You’ll be paid more if you’re empanelled as a juror on a trial. You also receive a meal allowance where lunch isn’t provided and an allowance for your travel to the courthouse. Below are the allowances you may be entitled to receive.

Full-time and part-time employees have to be paid 'make-up pay' for the first 10 days of jury selection and jury duty. Make-up pay is the difference between any jury duty payment the employee receives (excluding any expense-related allowances) from the court and the employee's base pay rate for the ordinary hours they would have worked.
