ELI5: How jurors on long cases maintain a job and a steady income while the case goes on?

I'm currently watching the O.J. Simpson case and in it they talk about the jurors being "locked up" in a hotel for ~280 days. 

How do they maintain a job or get a money?

Don't know how it is in the states but here (canada) you get paid a little for being a juror and your employer can't fire you for that reason. Plus if you are indispensable for your employer they will sometimes release you from jury duty.
