Jury Duty

If a staff member is called for jury service and is required to serve, they must let their supervisor know so that any necessary staffing arrangements can be made and appropriate payroll procedures followed. The University will compensate them for the difference between the jury duty pay and their regular earnings for days of work that the staff member misses due to jury service. To be paid for jury duty time, the staff member must present the official summons from the appropriate court to their supervisor. Once service is complete, the staff member should provide the proof of service and copy of the payment check to Human Resources. The staff member is expected to work on the days they are not actually serving. Under normal circumstances the University will not ask for deferment of jury duty.
