I understand the intent here, but it'd be difficult to implement. How do you prove your pay rate unless you bring in a (normal) paystub? How would you prove the hours you worked for said normal paystub? What about small business owners whose absence could cause a whole store to be shut down? How do you compensate them on potentially lost business?

While it should definitely be higher than $15 a day, a better rate would be like a straight $150-300 a day. High enough to not doom somebody from missing a day or two of work, but not high enough to incentivize some to dick around in the jury room for an additional few hundred bucks.

I assume theyd check with your employer. As for business owners, I dunno. But yeah a flat rate could work too. It just needs to be a lot higher than it is.
