Summary - Employees are encouraged to fulfill their civic responsibilities by participating in jury duty. An employee shall be granted the necessary time off to serve on jury duty.
Notification of Jury Duty - An employee must immediately notify the employee's supervisor of jury duty service and provide a copy of the court summons.
Compensation for Exempt Employees - Any exempt employee is paid the employee's regular salary for the period served while on performing jury service. This must be indicated when appearing for duty, as there are state restrictions on what may received from the court for the jury service. In most instances only mileage may be available under state law.
Compensation for Non-Exempt Employees - Any non-exempt employee who is required to report for jury duty on a day the employee is scheduled to work receives their regular rate of pay for scheduled work hours missed due to jury service. This must be indicated when appearing for duty, as there are state restrictions on what may received from the court for the jury service. In most instances only mileage may be available under state law.
Return to Work - An employee who is excused from court for the entire day must report to work for the employee's scheduled work hours. If an employee is released early from jury duty on a given day, the employee must contact the employee's supervisor to discuss reporting requirements.
Rescheduling of Jury Duty - The Association reserves the right to request that an employee seek permission from the court to have the jury duty rescheduled if serious business needs dictate.
