Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I need some advice on serving jury duty in GA. First, does an employer have to compensate the employee at all for time missed during jury duty. Also, what happens if you have to serve jury duty at a different time of the day than work? Are you required to report to both for that day(s)?
