Common use of Jury Summons Clause in Contracts

Jury Summons. In case of jury summons, the employee must report to the court on the appointed day, as there is no statutory exemption from jury service. Any permanent or probationary employee who is summoned as a member of a jury panel shall be granted temporary duty with pay, and any jury fees shall be retained by the employee. An employee subpoenaed in line of duty to represent the Board as a witness or defendant shall be given temporary duty with pay and any witness fees shall be retained by the employee. In no case shall temporary duty with pay be granted for court attendance when an employee is engaged in personal litigation; however, employees who have accrued annual leave (vacation) may be granted annual leave in such cases, with approval of the responsible supervisor.
