If you are self-employed you may ask the court for up to $50 per day for the first three days or juror service (§13-71-127, C.R.S.). Unemployed persons may apply for reimbursement of certain expenses during the first three days. After the third day, all jurors receive $50 per day from the state. There are provisions for special hardships and certain expenses.  Please discuss these with the jury commissioner.

An employer cannot fire you or withhold your benefits as a result of your jury duty.  An employer also cannot harass, threaten or coerce you or make demands of an employed juror that will substantially interfere with the effective performance of juror service (§13-71-134, C.R.S.).
