Jury Duty A. An employee shall be allowed such time off without loss of compensation as is required in connection with mandatory jury duty. Upon receiving notice of jury duty an employee shall immediately provide a copy of the notice to his/her supervisor.
B. If payment is made for such time off, the employee is required to remit to the State jury fees received. If an employee elects to use accrued vacation leave or compensating time off while on jury duty, the employee is not required to remit jury fees. For the purposes of this section, "jury fees" means fees received for jury duty excluding payment for mileage, parking, meals, or other out-of-pocket expenses.
C. For an employee summoned to jury duty during hours other than the employee's regular and customary shift, management will endeavor to temporarily reassign the employee to a work shift that more closely coincides with the hours the employee is required to serve on jury duty, including any necessary travel time, subject to the following:
1. The department already maintains an appropriate work shift that utilizes the employee's classification; and
2. The operational needs of the department permit such reassignment.
D. An employee shall be allowed time off without loss of compensation if approved by the department head or designee for voluntary jury duty such as grand jury. If approved by the department, paragraphs B. and C. apply.
E. For the purpose of this section, an employee summoned to jury duty may be required to adjust their work shift to an eight (8) hour schedule.
F. An employee summoned to jury duty who does not serve for a full day or who is placed on "on-call" status shall return to work to complete his/her scheduled workday if reasonable time remains for such return. An employee may not be required to report back to work if he/she feels there is not reasonably enough time left in the workday and if the employee's supervisor concurs. Concurrence will not be unreasonably withheld.
Jury Duty and Crown Witness (a) Employees subpoenaed as a crown witness or for jury duty shall be paid the difference between their normal daily wages and the amount they receive for such public duty for any day on which they are scheduled to work;
(b) Employees who must appear in court for reasons other than those mentioned in (a) shall be granted leave of absence without pay provided they supply the proof of service requiring such attendance.
Jury Duty and Subpoena Leave Leaves of absence with pay shall be granted for jury duty. Any compensation received for jury duty performed on contracted days shall be deducted from the employee's salary. The employee shall notify the District when notification to serve on jury duty is received. Leaves of absence with pay shall be granted when an employee is subpoenaed to appear in a court of law. If any witness fees are paid, that amount shall be deducted from the employee's regular pay. Any transportation, meal, or lodging expense reimbursement shall be retained by the employee.
Jury Duty Leave A regular, limited-term or probationary employee who is called for jury duty or for examination for jury duty shall be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay for those hours of absence due to the jury duty which occur during the employee's regularly scheduled working hours provided the employee deposits the employee's fees for such hours of jury duty, exclusive of mileage, with the County Treasurer. Fees for jury duty performed during hours other than regularly scheduled working hours may be retained by the employee. Any hours worked beyond the regularly scheduled workday shall be subject to the workweek and overtime provisions (Article I). An employee may request a change in regularly scheduled working hours to a Monday through Friday day shift for the duration of such jury duty. Such requests shall be granted if practicable.
Jury Duty and Witness Leave During the time an employee is actually reporting to the court for jury duty and following receipt of "Certificate of Jury Service" (Jury Form 4), the Department Head or his/her designate will convert the employee's usual shift to a regular five-day Monday through Friday day-shift basis. Any person holding a permanent position ordered to serve on a jury shall be entitled to his/her regular pay provided the employee deposits his/her fees for service, other than mileage, with the County Treasurer. Whenever any full-time permanent employee is required to be absent from work by a proper subpoena, issued by a court or commission legally empowered to subpoena witnesses, which compels the employee's presence as a witness, unless the employee is a party or an expert witness, the employee shall be allowed the time necessary to be absent from work at the employee's regular pay to comply with such subpoena, provided the employee deposits any witness fees, except mileage, with the County Treasurer.
JURY DUTY PAY All employees required to serve on jury duty shall be paid by the School District the difference between their regular pay and jury duty pay. In implementing this section, the School District shall continue to pay the employee the regular rate of pay and the employee shall be obligated upon receipt of the jury duty pay from the governmental agency to immediately remit any witness fees received to the School District less any mileage expenses. Absences under this section shall not be deducted from accumulated leave.
Jury Duty/Witness Leave Unit members shall be granted leave, without loss of pay, to appear in court as a subpoenaed witness or to serve as a juror. Any compensation, less any mileage expenses, received for appearance as a witness or from serving as a juror under this section shall be endorsed over to the District so that the unit member’s compensation for any days of absence for the above purposes shall not be in excess of nor less than his/her regular pay.
Jury & Witness Duty (a) If a full-time or regular part-time nurse is required to serve as a juror in any court of law, or is required to attend as a witness in a court proceeding in which the Crown is a party, or is required by subpoena to attend a court of law in connection with a case arising from the nurse's duties at the hospital, or is required to attend a coroner’s inquest in connection with a case arising from the nurse’s duties at the hospital, the nurse shall not lose service/seniority or regular pay because of such attendance and shall not be required to work the night shift prior to, or on the day of such duty provided that the nurse:
i) notifies the Hospital immediately on the nurse's notification that she or he will be required to attend court;
ii) presents proof of service requiring the nurse's attendance;
iii) deposits with the Hospital the full amount of compensation received excluding mileage, travelling and meal allowances and an official receipt where available. In addition, where a full-time nurse or regular part-time nurse is selected for jury duty for a period in excess of one (1) week, she or he shall be paid for all hours scheduled and not be expected to attend at work. Upon completion of the process the nurse shall be returned to that point on her or his former schedule that is considered appropriate by the Hospital. It is understood and agreed that the local parties may agree to different scheduling arrangements for the first week of jury and witness duty.
(b) Where the Hospital requires a nurse to attend any meetings in preparation for a case or legal proceedings which either arises from a nurse’s employment with the Hospital or otherwise involves the Hospital, the Hospital will make every reasonable effort to schedule such meetings at the Hospital during the nurse’s regularly scheduled hours of work. If the nurse is required to attend such meetings outside of her or his regularly scheduled hours, the nurse shall be paid for all hours spent in such meetings at her or his regular straight time hourly rate of pay. Part-time nurses will be credited with seniority and service for all such hours paid as provided above while in attendance at such meetings.
Paid Jury or Court Witness Duty Leave The Employer shall grant leave of absence without loss of seniority to an Employee who serves as a juror or witness in any court. The Employer shall pay such an Employee the difference between normal earnings and the payment received for jury service or court witness, excluding payment for traveling, meals or other expenses. The Employee will present proof of service and the amount of pay received. Time spent by an Employee required to serve as a court witness in any matter arising out of her employment, shall be considered as time worked at the appropriate rate of pay.
