(A) Upon receipt of notification to serve on a jury or to act as a court witness, the employee shall notify his or her supervisor. The employee is required to provide copies of the subpoena or jury summons to the Director of Administrative Services. Employees selected for jury duty and required to serve at times during regular work hours will be paid their regular rate of pay; but all juror fees must be deposited with the city.
Employees receiving city pay while serving on a jury are required to return to work, whenever reasonably possible, during their regular working hours when they are released early or excused from jury service.
(B) Employees appearing in their own case as a plaintiff or defendant or for a non-subpoenaed court appearance will not receive paid time off. Vacation, personal or compensatory time may be used for such instances.
