I have been called up for Jury Service. It says on the form that i can be reimbursed for child care.
Does anybody know whether this cover cases where you would be paying for child care anyway if you were working? DD is in daycare (it would be nice if i could get a week's charge back!)  ------------- |

I don't know for certain, but I would say no, as you have Catriona in childcare, anyway, because you're working. Worth an ask though -------------

Id say you would be able to - they don't ask you if you are working, you just have to provide receipts from daycare on the days you are on jury duty. ------------- Two little girls under 2!

i was going to suggest that if you dont want to do jury service you can turn up with said child and tell them you couldnt find a sitter....I am pretty well 100% convinced you would be excused!

LOL Bombshell After always thinking i wouldn't want to do it, now i have the call-up I am actually quite keen and will be disappointed if i don't get picked on the day. As long as it isn't anything nasty or messy involving kids / sexual assaults, i reckon it will be quiet interesting ------------- |
