New York A02671 amends the judiciary law to change the allowance for trial and grand jurors. Jurors will now receive an allowance equal to the applicable minimum wage based on the location of the court. This allowance is for each day of physical attendance during court sessions. Employers are allowed to withhold wages during jury service, except they cannot withhold the first forty dollars if they employ more than ten people. Violation of these provisions is a criminal contempt of court. The changes will take effect 60 days after the law is enacted.
