Got Jury Duty and ended up on a trial that is likely to take a long time now employer is trying to jew me out of money. trial days are monday to thursday and i will be at work on fridays.
I am a salaried exempt employee, its my understanding that if i do any work during the week (even just friday) then i am entitled to be paid in full no? employer is trying to tell me i need to use PTO days but i dont thats legal for them to require that of me

I don't think there is an officially mandated policy. Some companies give you time off as if you were pregnant. Others ask you to take sick leave. I dunno, but it might be possible some might claim that you're on your own dime.
If that's the last case, you probably have options since jury duty is mandated by law. It's not like it's your fault or anything. Worst case scenario, you can tell the case judge that you have a hardship and work will not pay your wages. This could, however, be your douchy employer hoping you'll do just this to let them off the hook.
Otherwise you might look into that a little. You can get thrown in jail for not showing up, so this isn't something voluntary.
Indeed, it's like who has the biggest shrimp competition.
