View policy pdf:Court Duty Policy
The University encourages employees to perform their civic duty to include serving
on a jury or as a witness. Regular employees of the University called for jury duty
or witness duty will be paid by the University at the normal rate of pay for any regularly
scheduled time lost from the job. Miscellaneous leave will be granted upon presentation
of official orders from the appropriate court. If the court duty is completed prior
to the end of the employee's normal work schedule, the employee must report to work
for the remainder of their shift.
