COURT LEAVE

1.      Compensation – No change in payroll is required for employees serving on jury duty.  School District checks will be issued as usual, so long as the employee is following the policy and regulations pertaining to jury duty and turning all court system checks into the district’s business office.

2.      Return to Work – Employees excused from jury duty shall promptly return to work to complete the shift.

3.      Shift Exchange – Employees serving on short-term jury duty assignments and working full shifts may legitimately collect their regular and their court system pay, so long as one duty does not interfere with the other.

4.      Jury Duty Pay for Rest Time – Swing shift employees called for morning Jury Duty may be allowed four (4) hours rest time at the end of the swing shift occurring before the court established reporting time.  This allowance is made in order to provide the courts with well rested jurors.  Employees and supervisors are encouraged to monitor this privilege carefully.
