(A) The city encourages employees to fulfill their obligation as citizens when they are called to serve jury duty or as a witness in any federal, state, or local court. To provide income protection while an employee carries out his/her civic responsibility, the city provides the difference between jury duty pay and your regular day’s pay for time spent serving on jury duty. Income protection for time spent serving on jury duty will be provided for a maximum of five work days.
(1) Before you begin jury duty leave, you must submit to your department head and to the Office of the City Clerk Treasurer the subpoena or court order for jury duty.
(2) At the beginning of the jury duty term, you should ask the court clerk or bailiff to prepare a weekly work verification form. The court clerk will typically provide the work verification form on each day you serve on the jury.
(3) Please give the work verification form to your department head and
(B) Since jury calls sometimes arise at times that are inconvenient for the individual or the city, we will use such means as are legitimate and necessary to obtain postponements of service to a more convenient time.
