Compensation is set by the Oregon Legislature.
By law, a juror must waive the daily fee if the juror is paid a wage or a salary by the juror’s employer for the day(s) of jury service, unless otherwise provided by an employment agreement. If the daily fee is paid, it is paid at the following rate:
-
Days 1 and 2, $10 per day;
-
Day 3, and beyond, $25 per day.
Juror travel expense for each day of service will be compensated in one of three ways:
-
(1) take TriMet, the cost of TriMet tickets will be paid regardless of distance; or
-
(2) $.20 per mile round trip.
-
(3) drive to a TriMet Park and Ride, you may be reimbursed for your mileage in driving to the Park and Ride, and the expense of the TriMet tickets.
Jurors are not compensated for parking expenses.
The payment is sent by mail, and can take three weeks to reach you.
Jurors must complete section 3 of the juror eligibility form in order to be compensated for their service.
