Common use of JURY AND WITNESS SERVICE Clause in Contracts

JURY AND WITNESS SERVICE. 27-1 An employee who loses time off their assigned schedule of work because of jury duty service or to testify pursuant to a subpoena shall be paid for such time lost at their hourly rate plus shift or special schedule premium, if applicable. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such jury duty and witness service shall be considered time worked. The employee shall furnish the University a written statement from the court showing the days of jury duty or witness service and the amount of jury duty or witness fees they were eligible to receive for each day. The employee will report for work when released from jury duty or witness service. 27-2 An employee who does not lose time from their assigned schedule of work, but who nevertheless has performed jury duty service or testified pursuant to a subpoena within the eight hour period immediately before the beginning of their shift, at their request, may have an amount of time off work equal to the time they were required to spend in court during that eight hour period. In such a case, the employee will be paid for this time off, in the same manner as if they had lost time from work. 27-3 An employee who is required to report for jury duty service or testify pursuant to a subpoena following completion of a shift which ends after midnight, will be excused from work at midnight and paid for such lost time their hourly rate plus shift or special schedule premium, if applicable. 27-4 None of the above provisions will apply to an employee who is a plaintiff, except for a plaintiff in a domestic dispute, whether testifying pursuant to a subpoena or not. Such an employee must make prior arrangements with the supervisor for either PTO or an excused absence without pay.
