(A) Jury duty shall be treated as jury leave, without loss of longevity, personal leave or pay. In order to be entitled to jury leave, the employee shall provide their Department Director with written proof of the requirement of their presence for the hours claimed. Fees paid by the court, other than travel and subsistence allowance, while the employee is on jury leave shall be turned in for deposit to the City. For jury duty that occurs on the employee’s normal non-work days, fees paid by the court may be retained by the employee.
(B) Service in court when subpoenaed as a witness on behalf of the city, or when called as an expert on a matter of city concern or relating to a municipal function, will be treated the same as jury duty. Witness service for purposes other than just described will be covered by personal leave or leave without pay, and any fees received may be retained by the employee.
