Witness or Jury Leave. Any employee, who is required to appear before a court of law as a witness in a matter arising from their employment with the Employer, or for jury selection or as a juror, shall be granted leave without loss of earnings or benefits during the times and throughout the period they are required to attend at court. All jury fees received by employees on such leave shall be surrendered to the Excel Society to partly offset the cost of their paid leave. When not required by the court, the employee shall report for work providing there is not less than two (2) hours remaining in their normal work shift.
Witness or Jury Leave. When an employee is called for jury duty or is subpoenaed as a witness under circumstances beyond their control and where such duties can be construed to be in the public interest, they will be continued at full salary for the period of required service. All monies received as witness fees or pay for jury duty must be signed over to the City, unless such fees are earned on employee's days off or during other authorized leave with pay. Employees will be expected to report to work when less than a normal day is required by jury or witness duties.
