Does an employer have to pay an employee for time off of work due to jury duty in Florida?

No. If you are paid by the court for your days and if you get paid by your job the rule is that you are suppose to pay your job the amount you made on the jury. If the jury duty causes you a hardship when you go into the court to report for jury duty tell them so and most courts will allow you to not serve.
