Sorry if this is similar to a previous thread started by Gym Beast.
I was off work for 10 weeks and then s0ds law when I finally got a contract the same week I also got a jury call up. As I was totally skint I wrote back and asked for a deferment which I was granted. However the company cancelled the work after only 10 weeks (no fault of my own I hasten to add) and then I was off work for another 3 months trying to get a contract. And guess what just when I get a 3 month contract I get the jury call up in the 10th week of my contract.
I don't have insurance and losing the at least 2 weeks work will severely financially impact me. It will also severely impair my chances of getting another contract and/or extension. Having been out of work for so long in the last year I have no cash reserves and am very stressed.
Has anyone here had anything similar and got another jury service deferral?
Before anyone says it's my duty to serve, in principle I have no problem whatsoever doing jury service but at the moment I'm trying to pay off bills from being out of work for so long and need to look after my family before doing my duty.
thanks in advance for any help.
