Creating a Jury Duty Policy


In setting up your jury leave policy, you should formulate answers to the following questions:

  • Will the leave be paid?
  • How will pay be calculated?
  • What happens to pay from the court?
  • Will employees be paid vacation or holiday pay while serving?
  • What proof will I require employees to present in order to be granted leave?
  • Is there a time limit to the amount of paid jury leave that I will grant?
  • What is the employee to do if released early or not called on a given day?
  • Which recordkeeping system will I use to document leave pay?
  • Are any employees ineligible for paid leave?
