If you've been summoned to the Broward County Judicial Complex in Fort Lauderdale, you are covered by one of Florida's few local ordinances that protect juror income. Broward ensures that its citizens aren't financially penalized for answering a summons.

✅ Broward Local Ordinance: Employers in Broward County are required to pay **full-time employees** (those working 35+ hours/week) their full wages for **up to five days** of jury service.

Broward Employer Obligations

To qualify for the mandatory 5-day pay, you must:

  • Be a full-time employee.
  • Give your supervisor a copy of your summons at least **5 working days** before your service starts.

The employer is allowed to deduct the state juror fee ($15) from your regular salary, but your total take-home pay for the first 5 days must remain consistent with your regular earnings.
