Regulation 4-51.1

PERSONNEL

Subpoenaed Witness and Jury Duty

If an employee is subpoenaed to court as a witness or for jury duty, and the court provides written verification of the appearance, no leave will be deducted. The Office of Employee Relations will determine the applicability of this regulation if the court appearance concerns a school-related matter.

Should as much as two hours of the workday remain, the employee must return to work.

If the employee receives payment for jury duty or witness fess, the employee may elect the following:

1. Retain payment for jury duty, and deduct the hours absent from their accumulated annual or personal reasons leave

2. Remit the payment for jury duty to the Department of Human Resources and have no deduction taken from their accumulated annual or personal reasons leave.

Any money received by the employee for travel expenses or other expense reimbursements may be retained by the employee.
