ARTICLE 27 - JURY DUTY

 

Section 1.  A permanent full time employee shall be granted time off at straight time pay for reporting to required jury duty upon presentation to the employee's supervisor of satisfactory evidence that such jury duty is required and provided the time required for jury duty is the employee's normal workday or work shift.  In order to be eligible, the employee must report at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of jury duty to the immediate supervisor on the prescribed leave form with the summons attached of the need to be absent because of a jury duty requirement.

 

Section 2.  Any compensation received by an employee for jury duty shall be retained by the employee; however, a pro rata amount of the jury duty pay received by the employee shall be deducted from the employee's regular pay based upon that portion of the regularly scheduled workday missed by the employee.  There shall be no deduction for mileage pay nor for the one (1) hour reporting period provided in Section 3. An employee seeking jury duty leave must substantiate any compensation received for serving on jury duty by submitting a copy of the check(s) received or a copy of the receipt(s) for any cash received.

 

Section 3.  If an employee is released from jury duty within one (1) hour from the time required to report for such jury duty, the employee shall be required to report for duty on that date.
