从2025年9月30日起,安大略将陪审员的薪酬提高到每天120美元,结束了36年的薪酬冻结。 Ontario increases juror pay to $120 daily starting Sept. 30, 2025, ending a 36-year-old pay freeze.

安大略从2025年9月30日起将陪审员薪酬提高到每天120美元,从服务第一天起生效,结束了自1989年以来未变的长达数十年的工资结构。 Ontario is raising juror pay to $120 per day starting September 30, 2025, effective from the first day of service, ending a decades-long pay structure unchanged since 1989. 这一变化被道格·多尼总检察长称为“逾期已久的”变革,目的是减少财政障碍,改善陪审团的多样性。 The change, called “long overdue” by Attorney General Doug Downey, aims to reduce financial barriers and improve jury diversity. 以前,陪审员头10天不领薪酬,每天40美元直到第50天,其后100美元。 Previously, jurors received no pay for the first 10 days, then $40 daily until day 50, and $100 thereafter. 倡导者说,这种增加将促进参与,特别是低收入和有工作的工人的参与。 Advocates say the increase will boost participation, especially among low-income and gig workers. 虽然安大略的新比率是朝着公平方向迈出的一步,但专家指出,其他省份的工资仍然低于最低工资,并呼吁进行全国性的改革,包括为陪审员提供更好的精神保健支助。 While Ontario’s new rate is a step toward fairness, experts note other provinces still pay less than minimum wage and call for nationwide reforms, including better mental health support for jurors.
