You hand the form for the employer to your manager to get stamped.
You'll need to give it to the court on your first day.
Royal Mail pay you as normal.
You then claim back the expenses from the court.
Royal Mail will ask for those expenses back*

Days you're called, you attend, days you're not you work as normal.
If you've attended or worked Monday to Friday you get Saturday off.

Hi
Do you get Saturday off if you normally work 6 days a week?

On the form to the manager (although it was a good few years ago) one of the options was something like "if the jury member finishes early would you still require them to return to work " .Make sure you note if this is ticked yes or no as in my case it was no and so I got a good few afternoons off and two Fridays off as they had arranged cover. But I'm not sure this will be the case in this current climate.
