Litigation Leave Sample Clauses
The Litigation Leave clause grants employees the right to take time off from work to participate in legal proceedings, either as a party, witness, or for other related obligations. Typically, this leave may be paid or unpaid depending on company policy and the nature of the legal matter, and employees are often required to provide advance notice and documentation supporting their need for leave. The core function of this clause is to ensure employees are not penalized for fulfilling legal duties, thereby balancing workplace obligations with civic or legal responsibilities.
Litigation Leave. 9.3.10.1 Employees who serve as a witness (under an official order) in criminal cases, where they are not the defendant, or who officially represent the District in any litigation or official hearing, shall receive no reduction in pay or benefits.
Litigation Leave. An employee shall be granted an unpaid excused absence, or upon request, vacation leave, in the event the employee is required to appear in court for reasons outside the scope of his/her employment, and other than jury duty. Provided, however, the employee shall provide two (2) weeks prior written notice of any court appearance and the employee shall provide written verification of his/her appearance in court.
Litigation Leave. Unit members shall be granted paid leave, exclusive of statutory leave, to appear in court as a witness or to respond to an official order (subpoena) if the legal proceeding involves a matter of public interest, as distinguished from a private dispute, and the appearance of the employee as a witness in the proceeding may properly be considered to be the discharge of a civic responsibility. Public interest is defined as the employee being subpoenaed by the defendant or the prosecution in a criminal case.
