Bargaining unit members shall be granted court or jury duty leave during normal working hours; provided, however, that they are served with a lawfully issued subpoena for such court or jury duty. There shall be no financial penalty attached to such service in any way, except that it be the understanding that whatever amount is earned in such capacity be returned to the Board less necessary and documented expenses incurred, and that such employee be paid his/her regular salary by the Board. All documentation shall be submitted to the Treasurer within twenty (20) work days of completion of duty. However, fees earned for jury duty or court service on an employee's day(s) off or during the months the employee is not normally working do not have to be remitted to the Treasurer of the Board. Such days shall not be deducted from any other leave days. When a bargaining unit member is subpoenaed to serve as a witness in a court action involving the Board or arising out of his/her employment, he/she shall be given a leave of absence with pay for the time required for such appearance(s); provided, however, nothing herein shall require the Board to grant an absence with pay if the member is a party plaintiff or witness in such suit against the Board nor when the Association is a plaintiff in a suit brought against the Board on behalf of the member or any other member of the bargaining unit. This leave is also inapplicable to any legal proceeding to which the bargaining unit member or a member of his immediate family is a named party.
