    This is indeed more complicated than it first appears. If we ignore all shift premiums, overtime and bonuses, and assuming you have no other income using your tax allowance.
    If your gross monthly is £1562.75
    This means your gross annual salary is (£1562.75 x 12) = £18753, does this sound correct? This assumes that you get paid 12 times per year and not four weekly.
    With an annual salary of £18753, and a 4% pension contribution, assuming no student loan, and a standard tax code your annual net income is £15283.40
    If you work 21 days in 6 weeks, then your average working week is 3.5 days.
    52 weeks per year x 3.5 days per week = 182 working days per year
    £15283.40 per year / 182 days per year = £83.97 per day
    This by my estimation is the figure that HR should have passed to the courts.

    So you say you have only recieved £757.64 so far for a 5 week trial. This figure does seem to be on the low side. Because of your shift pattern the fewest number of working days (Mon - Fri) that you have missed due to Jury duty is 11. 3 of those days could have been during the first week when claims are capped at £64.95 per day. So 3 days at £64.95 + 9 days at £83.97. (assuming no half days and no T&S) = £950.58.

    I reckon you need to get HR to look again at your daily rate and it should come out somewhere around the of £83, but don't be surprised if it comes out up or down by a £5 say due to the complications of payroll.

    I agree with the rest of your post but, as per the link at post #2 above, the reduced £64.95 amount applies for the first two weeks, i.e. the standard jury service period for those who only get involved with shorter trials.

    Thank you for your very detailed reply, and in actually answering my question, my employer has provided my net daily pay as 5 days over 7 37.5 hours, £49.77, you are exactly spot on my annual basic salary is £18753, no student loan, a standard tax code, monthly pay rather than 4 weekly, as in 12 pay days and I have no further taxable income, I will speak to my HR department, as they seem to have got this drastically wrong, and I am at a major loss.

    Thank you once again

    It may all come out in the wash though - the net daily rate is what your employer is declaring that they'll deduct from your pay as a result of your unavailability when on jury service, as per http://formfinder.hmctsformfinder.justice.gov.uk/loss-certificate-eng.pdf.

    So, even though the figure is apparently too low, your employer should be making a correspondingly smaller deduction from your pay and you shouldn't lose out - in fact if the figure they've used is below £64.95 then you'd actually come out ahead because you wouldn't be penalised by the court's initial capping. Have any jury-related deductions been shown on your latest payslip?

    Hi,
    Pay day is Monday so I have not yet had a wage slip that would show any deductions, I am paid in arrears so my last pay day on the 27th of May was a full wage paying me for the month of April.

    Not sure you can conclude that you're losing out until you've got all the numbers in front of you - when you speak to your HR people you should establish what your employer will be paying you for the time you're on jury service, so that you can add it to what you're getting from the court and see if it's collectively what it should be....
