Jury/Witness Service. During the period when an employee is performing required jury service or is required to serve as a witness as a result of being served with a subpoena, the Employer will pay for the difference, if any, between the jury duty or witness service compensation and the employee’s normal wage, provided that the employee gives the Employer at least 48 hours advance notice of jury duty or witness service and, thereafter, provides evidence of performance of jury duty or witness service, and of the payment received for it.
Jury/Witness Service.

(b) If an employee's regular schedule includes a shift or shifts other than day shift, his shift shall be changed to all days effective with the first day of service as a juror or witness. If an employee is not required to remain at the courthouse (or jury/witness service location) at any time during the day shift, he must call the Company and receive instructions on whether to report for work or not.
(c) When an employee on jury or witness service is relieved from such service, he shall be returned to the shift assigned to before he was changed to all days because of such service.

(d) Any time during which an employee is subject to call for jury service or as a witness but during which he does not report for or actually serve on a jury or as a witness shall not be covered by this Section 10; however, the time so spent shall not be considered as time worked for the purpose of calculating overtime. Should the employee be required to be present in court in a case where he is a party litigant, no compensation will be allowed.
(e) When an absence under this Section 10 occurs during a work week regularly scheduled to exceed forty (40) hours and such absence includes the regularly scheduled work day which would result in the employee being scheduled in excess of forty (40) hours, such employee shall be paid an additional one-half (1/2) hour of pay at the regular straight-time rate for each regularly scheduled hour in excess of forty (40) hours during that work week.
