<prompt> Human: Thats an entire week in which I wont see any income. As someone working a minimum wage job this is a big deal to me because all of the money I make goes to bills. What do I do? Is there any compensation for those of us who go to jury duty on work days? does my employer have to cover me? Of all times, this is the worst to have to show up for jury duty.  <response>: Call them up and ask how to file for a continuance. Essentially it just asks that they call you back at a later time. I got one back when they tried to call me while I was going to college out of state.
