Paid leave of absence for jury duty is available for regular full-time and regular part-time staff members who have satisfactorily completed their introductory periods when such duty is required by law. Jury duty papers should be presented to supervisors as soon as they are received so that departmental schedules can be adjusted. 

Staff members, whether selected for jury duty or not, are expected to return to work as soon as the court releases them. The University will pay the staff members regular wages as long as documentation of the jury duty is provided to the supervisor. Monies received from jury duty do not need to be returned to the University, and it will be the responsibility of the staff member to report jury duty pay on the personal income taxes as taxable compensation.
