Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You're not supposed to lose salary for jury duty, I thought?
My company "will not compensate employees for such time off, unless required by law."
For some reason, I'd thought it wasn't. At least not here.
Am I wrong?

I have no idea. I only have a vague notion of the laws in the places I've actually lived! Because of course it would be state law, wouldn't it?

I found the California page: "State law does not require employers to compensate employees who are absent because of jury service."

We get paid time off for up to 10 jury duty days per year. But if the service will last longer than 10 days, I think it's possible to get approval to charge up to 20 days.
And we get to keep the $8 or whatever the court pays. Whoo.

Your benefits seem to suck, ita. But you probably get paid better.

I'm looking to replace my very old Epson printer for a new one of any brand. Any preferences out there?
As an FYI--I hardly ever use it, but I am getting frustrated that the ink cartridges are practically impossible to find since the thing is so old, and the paper feed never worked on it even when it was new, so the frustration level is very high with it. I'm looking at a basic HP Deskjet 5740 for $80 or a 3843 for $64 at Best Buy instead of another Epson.

They pay me more than I think I'm worth, and I'm not eligible for jury duty, so I can't really complain for me. But if a company this size isn't compensating anyone, it worries me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Kathy, all the HPs I've used have been great - fast printing and sturdy machines. The guy across the hall from me has used the same printer for some ungodly number of years and has never had trouble finding replacement cartridges.
