Common use of JURY DUTY/COURT APPEARANCES Clause in Contracts

JURY DUTY/COURT APPEARANCES. Any regular seniority employee who is called for jury duty shall be paid his/her regular rate of pay for all days the employee serves on the jury. The Employer agrees to pay such amount upon presentation of proof by the employee. The Employer may deduct from the jury duty pay amounts received by the employee from the government for jury duty. Due to the critical nature of the service provided by the employees, and the likelihood that suitable replacements may not be available, the employee and Employer will jointly cooperate to limit any potential disruption as a result of jury duty. When an employee is required by the Employer or subpoena to appear in any court for the purpose of testifying because of any work related accident or conduct he may have been involved in or witnessed during working hours, such employee shall be reimbursed in full by the Employer for all earning opportunity lost because of such appearance. This section shall not apply to any subpoena issued or appearance required in cases in which the employee is a party, unless required by Section 10-20.20 of the School Code, 105 ILCS 5/10-20.20.
