Service Absence

A service absence entails military training (reservist or national guardsman) not exceeding twenty work days per year, or jury duty, or testifying due to a subpoena. Regular employees are paid the difference between military base pay, jury pay, or witness fees, and regular pay for work time lost during the employee's schedule of hours.

Military Service - A leave of absence for military service shall be granted upon written request through the employee's immediate supervisor and upon approval of the department chair/director and Human Resources, for a normal tour of duty.

Jury/Witness Service - If you are called for jury duty or to testify at the order of a court, you will be excused from your job without loss of pay or benefits for a period not to exceed thirty work days with pay in any calendar year. However, your regular wages will be reduced by the amount of any compensation you receive for such service.

When you report for jury duty but are not selected to serve for that day or session you must return to work for completion of the normal work schedule or until your next scheduled duty.
