The village supports our employees' civic responsibilities and, accordingly, encourages employees to accept jury duty if possible. Employees who are called to jury duty, or called to serve as a witness under court subpoena, will be paid what they would have earned at work on a straight-time basis for a period of up to two weeks. The village will deduct any state jury duty compensation paid to the employee from the employee's paycheck during that period. To qualify for compensation, employees who are summoned or subpoenaed to court must do the following: (1) notify his or her immediate supervisor in advance and furnish proof of the requirement to appear in court; (2) report to the designated court as requested; and (3) return to work promptly if the service does not occupy the full day.
