If you are called for and serve on a jury you will be compensated up to £250 per day served subject to a maximum 10 day period or £2,500 (for Freelancer and Umbrella members) or up to £500 per day or £5,000 (for Director members), based on your current contract and less a deduction of any amount recovered from the relevant court. Making a claim is as simple as filling out the relevant claim form and providing evidence of your service.

FAQ: I've already claimed for jury service once, but have been called up again. Will IPSE cover a second claim? 
Yes, there is no limit to how many times you can claim this benefit for separate jury services, as long as you are a valid member at the time you are called up.

FAQ: What if I'm not on a day rate? 
Of course, not all self-employed individuals charge a day rate. You may pay yourself a salary through your own company, or work on a project by project basis. If you're on a salary, we'll take your salary less any pension contributions and turn that into a day rate. If you're paid in a different way, such as per project, we'll look at your income for the last 8 weeks and calculate a day rate based on that.
