Im on Telephone standby for jury duty!!! This is the third day I've called and they dont need me...but Im also off of work until im done...Im just wondering how much longer Im gonna have to keep calling. Im actually bored!! And I cant go to work, which although I get the rest, I miss FH and he's bored at work without me, ontop of the super overtime checks Im missing out on![]()
My dad is actually on standby this week too, and hes been going to work.. He calls the night before so he knows before bed whether or not hes gotta get up at 430 to get to work. Dont know if that helps, but i always thought you were supposed to go to work unless your number came up.
Im in Queens county....Ive been calling my supervisor...trying to figure this all out soon, because I'd have to start work @7:30 pm...Im gonna go by my supervisors final word....
My dad has to start calling on August 10th. He's annoyed lol. He really can't get out of it either because it's right near home. FMIL used to work in the Queens Civil Court and I got called in and she couldn't get me out. She's out in Brooklyn now, thankfully I won't have to go there.
As an attorney, its my understanding that when you are in call in duty, you must call in each night to see if you are needed, and if not needed you must go to work the next day. The upside of this is that even if you never had to go into court, this 'call in' jury duty satisfies your committment and you won't get called again for a while. Make sure you get your receipt from the Commissioner of Jurors that shows you fulfilled you committment.

Hm, I wonder how that all works out if you work at night…when I was called in to jury duty, I didn’t go to work because it was the same hours. Anyway, I did keep going in when I was just on jury standby---as soon as they call your number and tell you the day you need to report, then you don’t have to go to work anymore.
