Book a holiday that starts the day after the jury service ends.
This won't stop the jury service but will stop you from being choosen for a long winded trial. (Well my company contact used that method).
Also current methods use the phone so you don't have to attend everyday. He only lost 2 days work over the two weeks...
Unlucky if you get picked for a trial on the first day.Comment

I remember when I got called up for jusry service except I was a permie then, not only did my company continue to pay me but I also got compensation. Did quite well out of it. On the first day there we knew that there was going to be a big finincial irregularities case which everyone was dreading getting as it was going to go on for a long time and basically means sitting around reading through lots and lots of figures. I was lucky, the first case was a couple of young burglars who pleaded guilty straightaway. The second case was a taxi driver who had thrown a pot of boiling coffee over a waitress. We found him guilty, especially after seeing the photos. What then made it difficult was I then found out he lived about 4 doors down from me and a few weeks later I was in his taxi and used it quite regularly from then on but I don't think he ever suspected (big chap as well!) Had another burgulary case as well, sent him down
