The actual "pay" varies by state. In KY, you receive the princely sum of $12.50/day. Many private employers pay your normal wage and all you have to do is turn in the state paycheck.

The judges recognize that the pay sucks and tell you that they realize it...but that you are to be there anyway, lest the constables come by your house with a summons.
