Jury Duty

Applies To: All Employees

The university recognizes the civic responsibility of its employees to serve as jurors when so summoned and all employees are excused for this purpose. Faculty members and staff employees receive full pay for days spent on jury duty.

Employees not scheduled for jury duty prior to 1 p.m., or excused from jury duty prior to noon on any given day are expected to work for the portion of the day not required for jury duty. Time spent on jury duty does not count toward weekly overtime for non-exempt employees.

There are certain circumstances when the work of a department could be seriously and significantly affected if an employee were required to perform jury service as requested. In exceptional situations such as this, the supervisor may request a delay of jury duty service with the commissioner of Juror.
