Hi,

Thanks for the responses.

TO clarify some questions, there is no mention of jury service in my contract. There is mention of Jury service in the company policy which says that I will continue to receive full pay less any pay received from court.

However my question is will they rescind this pay if I hand in my notice. There is nothing in the handbook nor can I find anything on google as to what may happen in this scenario. I am aware that even if my company does not pay me, the gov will, however at a reduced rate which I want to avoid.

If they are able to not pay me this, I will possibly wait until after my jury service to hand in my notice. If they cannot rescind their pay because of me handing in my notice, then that would be better for me, as I want to hand it in ASAP.

Sounds like they will top-up the court payment which is approx £65 a day - really depends how much higher your pay is than that when deciding to risk the notice or not.

And with factoring in that you might not even be selected and still have to work an extra 3 months.
