Civic Duty Leave

Revision/Review Date Board Approval Date Effective Date

Policy

It is the civic duty of employees as a citizen to report for jury duty whenever called.  Therefore, it is the policy of PIC to allow employees leave for jury duty when they are summoned and to help avoid excessive financial loss because of such service.  

Practice

  1. Jury Duty
    1. PIC will continue regular pay for non-exempt employees who are called to jury duty for up to 10 full or part days per fiscal year.  
    2. Exempt employees will normally be paid their regular salary while on jury duty.  However, if the jury duty interferes with the functioning of PIC or services to consumers, the employee should talk to the Executive Director.  It may become necessary for the employee to take paid or unpaid time off work.  Payments received for serving on jury duty will be retained by the employee.
    3. Employees must notify their supervisor and provide a copy of the notice as soon as possible after receiving a notice for jury duty.
    4. On any day or partial day an employee is not required to serve, they will be expected to return to work unless they are an exempt employee on unpaid time off in accordance with Paragraph B above.
