Civic Duty Whenever an employee is served with a subpoena by a court of competent jurisdiction which compels his/her presence as a witness during his/her normal working period, unless he/she is a party to the litigation or an expert witness, such employee shall be granted time off with pay in the amount of the difference between the employee's regular earnings and any amount he/she receives for such appearance. This Article is not applicable to appearances for which the employee receives compensation in excess of his/her regular earnings. A court of competent jurisdiction is defined as a court within the County in which the employee resides or if outside the county of residence, the place of appearance must be within 150 miles of the employee's residence.
Jury Duty A. When a non-probationary, full-time employee is required to be in any court or courthouse for jury service and such service deprives such employee of pay that he otherwise would have earned, he shall be scheduled a Monday through Friday workweek between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and paid for each day on such jury service at the rate of eight (8) hours times his straight-time hourly rate, less any remuneration received by him for jury service. When a non-probationary, part-time employee is required to be in any court or courthouse for jury service and such service deprives such employee of pay that he otherwise would have earned during the Monday through Friday portion of his normal workweek, he shall be scheduled a shift between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. He will be paid for that part of his normal workweek based upon his average hours worked or paid for in each workweek, Monday through Friday, in the four (4) such workweeks immediately preceding the week(s) in which jury duty is required, less any remuneration received by him for such jury service. Utilization of such an employee on the Saturday and/or Sunday portion of his normal workweek shall continue to be at the discretion of the Employer; provided the minimum weekly hour guarantee is satisfied.
B. If such employee in addition works for the Employer on Saturday, he shall be paid at the rate of straight-time. If he works for the Employer on Sunday, he shall be paid at the Sunday rate of pay.
C. If an employee is temporarily excused from jury service on any scheduled day, i.e., Monday through Friday, he shall immediately report for work to complete the remaining hours of his scheduled work shift. Failure to so report shall disqualify an employee from any pay for jury duty for the day in question as long as the transportation time will permit him to return to work prior to one (1) hour before the end of his shift. If an employee is permanently excused from jury service he shall immediately report for work to complete the remaining hours of his scheduled work shift that day. Failure to so report shall disqualify an employee from any pay for jury duty for the day in question as long as the transportation time will permit him to return to work prior to one (1) hour before the end of his shift. If the employee is not required to report, he shall call the manager to inform him that he has been permanently released. Thereafter, the manager may place him on a work schedule similar to which he normally works.
D. The employee shall notify the Employer as soon as he receives his jury duty summons. Failure to provide such summons prior to the posting of the schedule shall relieve the Employer from the scheduling requirements set forth above. The Employer will verify eligibility if provided with a timely summons. The Employer may require proof of attendance for jury service. An employee making a false claim for jury duty pay shall be subject to discharge.
E. An employee shall be eligible for jury duty pay for three (3) tours of jury duty service only during the life of this Agreement. The total number of days that an employee may receive jury duty pay is limited to fifteen (15) days through the life of the Agreement. An employee shall no longer be eligible for jury duty pay when three (3) tours are served or when fifteen (15) days have been compensated, whichever occurs first. Jury duty pay shall not be required for Grand Jury service. In the event an employee is called for jury service for which he would not be eligible for pay, the Employer shall join the employee in seeking excuse from service if such service would cause a financial hardship to the employee.
Extra Duty A. All extra duty activities and responsibilities for which no additional compensation is paid, but which are normally considered a part of the school's program, shall be on a voluntary basis only.

Such employees, so compensated, shall not be eligible to retain jury duty pay or witness fees and shall turn any such pay or fees received over to the EMPLOYER.
