Juror Payments

Saskatchewan government increases juror payments

Aug 22, 2019 | 1:26 PM

Saskatchewan jury members will be making a little extra money next month.

The jury allowance is being bumped up to $110 per day in both civil and criminal trials.

The change is effective September 1.

Before the new policy, jurors in criminal trials made $80 every day. Civil trials only paid out $15.

The provincial government is also adding a payment for people with children or dependents.

They’ll give up to $40 a day for childcare and $80 to cover care for the elderly and other dependents.

However, it’s not all increases. They will be cutting the current $15 allowance they give out at the jury selection process in civil trials.
