Covered Service: Full-time and part-time employees are entitled to paid time off when performing jury service or when subpoenaed to appear in court as a witness.
Excluded Service: An employee is not entitled to paid court leave when they are a party to the legal action, or if their child, parent, or other relative is a party to the action. In such cases, the employee may request to use their available vacation leave or other paid time off, subject to supervisory approval.
Notification: An employee must notify their supervisor of the need for court leave as soon as possible after receiving a summons or subpoena.
Documentation: The employee must provide their supervisor with a copy of the official court summons or subpoena to document the need for leave.
Timekeeping: All court leave must be properly recorded in KSU's approved time and attendance software.
Once dismissed from jury duty or from serving as a witness, the employee must return to work as soon as practicable. Any unreasonable delay in returning to work will not be considered paid court leave.
