An employer must pay regular employees their regular wages for the first three (3) days,
or part thereof, of juror service. Regular employees include part-time, temporary, and
casual employees as long as the hours of the employee may reasonably be determined
by a schedule or by custom and practice established during the three-month period
preceding the term of juror service. Each self-employed juror is responsible for
compensating himself for the first three (3) days, or part thereof, of juror service.
Massachusetts Stat. 234A.48
A court has the authority to excuse an employer from the duty to compensate an
employee on jury duty or to excuse a self-employed juror from the duty to compensate
himself for the first three (3) days, or part thereof, of juror service upon a finding that the
employer or self-employed juror would suffer extreme financial hardship if the duty to
pay wages for the first three (3) days were not removed. If an employer or
self-employed juror is excused from paying wages, the court must award reasonable
compensation in lieu of wages to the juror to be paid by the state for the first three (3)
days, or part thereof, of juror service, up to $50 per day.
Massachusetts Stat. 234A.49

compulsory work assignments upon any employee or do any other intentional act which
substantially interferes with the availability, effectiveness, attentiveness, or peace of
mind of the employee during the performance of his or her juror service.
