State law protects a juror’s regular job. 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.).
 

Your employer has a duty under state law (§13-71-126, C.R.S.) to pay regular wages up to $50 per day if you are regularly employed. Employers may pay more than $50 by mutual agreement. If you are a part-time or temporary worker and have worked for the same employer for three months or more, then you are a regular employee.
 

Jurors who are temporarily out of the county or state:  If the juror will be out of the county on their appearance date but will be returning within the next 6 months, they should be postponed to a time when they are back in the county.  Retired persons who live in the county more than 50% of the time, but still maintain a permanent address in another county or state may apply for a postponement to a later date when they will be in state.
 

If you require an ADA accommodation, please submit an ADA Request at least 5 days prior to the date of your jury service. An ADA request must include a specific reasonable accommodation that may assist you to serve as a juror. If there are no reasonable accommodations that will assist you to serve as a juror, please complete either a Postponement or Disqualification form depending on which will best serve your situation. Visit the ADA Accommodation program for additional information on the Americans with Disabilities Act and ADA coordinators.
