Judicial and Official Appearance Leave. An Agency employee shall be granted paid leave for purposes of regularly called jury duty, appearance under subpoena as a witness in court other than as a litigant, or to respond to an official order from another governmental jurisdiction for the reasons not brought about through the connivance or misconduct of the employee. When called for jury duty, the unit member shall notify the immediate supervisor at once, and shall make an affirmative attempt to schedule jury duty to minimize the disruption to the Agency's operation. The Agency may request the employee to seek deferral or limitation of jury duty when, in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer, such duty would substantially interfere with the effective operation of the Agency. The Agency will work with employees called for jury duty to adjust the employee's work schedule so that the combined jury service and work hours shall not exceed eight (8) hours per day. Employees not required to serve a full day of jury service shall complete the remainder of their regular work shift for the day, provided that the combined work hours and jury service do not exceed eight (8) hours.
