Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to establish the University’s guidelines for paid and unpaid leave for administrators who are called to serve on jury duty. Members of a collective bargaining unit should refer to their respective CBA.

Scope

This policy applies to all full-time and part-time administrators of the University.

Policy

Full-time administrators who are called to jury duty will be paid for up to 10 days in any calendar year. Any time in excess of the applicable maximum may be charged to vacation/leave time or leave time without pay.

Part-time administrators who are called to jury duty will be paid for up to 3 days of service, but only to the extent of time they are scheduled to work during jury service.

The administrator is responsible for informing the court about any hardships created by being assigned to cases that may extend beyond the allotted 10 (or 3) days of jury duty pay. Administrators should provide reasonable advance notice to their supervisor of their jury duty summons and, upon request of their supervisor, must provide a proof of service from the court.

Administrators should return to work each day or portion of day they are not selected for service.
