40.025:  Jury Duty and Court Leave

The provisions of this policy do not apply to those instances when an employee appears in court

• as the defendant in a criminal case;

• as a party to a civil action;

• as a result of secondary employment outside of the service of the state; or

• without a subpoena having been issued.

Employees may be excused from scheduled work assignments without loss of pay only for the period of reporting to and serving on a jury (or complying with a subpoena), including reasonable travel time.

Employees called to serve (or appear) whose assignments require them to work beyond 11:00 p.m. may, at management's discretion, be released from work with pay at 11:00 p.m. the evening before they are scheduled to appear in court, or alternatively, the affected employee's shift may be flexed or the employee may be temporarily transferred to a dayshift during the period of jury duty.

Employees called to serve (or appear) whose work schedule is completed prior to 11:00 p.m. will be released from work the day of their scheduled jury duty until the time they are released from their jury duty services.

An employee required to serve (or appear) for only a part of a day for jury duty is obliged to return to a scheduled work assignment promptly following dismissal by the Court.

Any monies received for serving (or appearing) will be retained by the employee.
