Court Service & Jury Duty

In the event that an employee is called for jury duty, the University will pay the difference between the employee’s regular pay and the amount received from the court for jury duty for all time served during normal working hours after three (3) days. The first three (3) days of jury duty are paid in full by the University.

Upon receipt of a jury duty notice, notification to a Supervisor or Department Head should be provided promptly.

If jury duty continues for more than three (3) days, notification to the Payroll Office should be provided in writing. Compensation for that pay period will be adjusted to reflect the amount received from the State each day until the employee returns to work.

Employees on jury duty should receive an official voucher from the State showing dates and time served and the amount of compensation received. A copy of this voucher must be forwarded to Payroll. This voucher should be received no later than ten (10) days after jury duty is complete.
