Common use of Jury Duty or Witness Leave Clause in Contracts

Jury Duty or Witness Leave. A unit member shall be granted a leave of absence with pay to appear as a witness in court, other than as a litigant, or to respond to an official order from another governmental jurisdiction for reasons not brought about though the connivance or misconduct of the employee, or when regularly called for jury duty, upon presentation of the subpoena or official court summons to the Xxxx in the appropriate service area. The unit member should notify the appropriate Xxxx of the need for such leave as soon as possible after receiving such a summons or subpoena.

Code §87035).
