If an employee normally assigned to any shift except “day shift” is called for jury or witness duty for a County-related matter and ordered to report, the employee’s shift shall be changed to “days” until the duty obligation has been fulfilled. The supervisor will be flexible in the transition from and back to their normal shift.
