The public transit reimbursement starts on the first day. The mileage payment starts on the second day. All jurors receive at least 34 cents for each mile they travel to and from court, or they can receive up to $12 for using public transit. Because governmental employers already pay these jurors, the courts do not pay them an additional daily fee.
California provides jurors with $15 every day starting on the second day of service, except employees of governmental entities who receive full pay and benefits from their employers while on jury service.
