Witness Leave Not Related to Employment. A regular, limited-term or probationary employee who is called to answer a subpoena, which is not related to employment, as a witness for court appearances, during the employee's work hours, except where the employee is a litigant, shall be compensated at his or her regular rate of pay for all hours of absence from work due to answering the subpoena provided the employee deposits witness fees received for such hours, exclusive of mileage, with the County Treasurer.
