The state should pay the average daily wage of whoever they ask to serve - unless otherwise compensated by the company.

As a salaried employee, I get paid, but my wife wouldn't with her company.

From Allegheny Courts:
"In accordance with State law, a juror summoned to serve shall receive compensation at the rate of $9.00 a day for the first three days of service and $25.00 a day for each day thereafter. In addition, jurors shall be compensated for mileage at the rate of 17¢ per mile."

Like, that doesn't cover parking downtown!!
