Dury duty fees and charges
I have been asked to go along for duty this coming month.
However I have not a clue what to do for my fees for the month of May?
I don't know how many days if any I will not be working & not sure how I claim this back from the court being self employed.
Has anyone ever been in this situation and what did you do
My thought was to charge for May and then in June take off what I didn't work and claim it back that way rather then trying to guess.

You can be excused jury duty if you're a childminder, so if it doesn't fit in with you or your families I would get yourself excused.
Would your families be able to make other arrangements if you're not working? Can they make plans even though they wouldn't know how long it was for? From a parent's point of view I wouldn't want to be charged for time in May when you know you're not going to be available and when they might also be having to pay for alternative childcare.

I've tried to get through to them but been unable
Annoying as the cost you claim back from court will not even begin to cover what I lose in earnings which is a major headache
All to potentially sit and listen to someone criminal activities 😴

I was under the impression you claimed for what you would have earned... so if a parent was booking in for say 25 hours that week and another for 15 hours etc and you cannot commit to the hours you claim for these hours as parent had to leave child with someone else while you on jury duty....

Unfortunately there is a limit to what you can claim:
