Jury Duty and Court Appearances

Regular employees who are summoned for attendance to any court for jury duty during normal working hours are considered to be on duty and there will be no loss of salary. Employees must submit proof of jury duty to supervisors/managers upon request. Mileage fees may be retained, but any jury fees received must be turned in to their department’s accounting unit. Temporary employees are entitled to retain their jury fees, since their jury time is not considered to be time actually worked. 

Employees who are called as witnesses arising out of and in the course of their County employment are deemed to be on duty and there shall be no loss of salary. However, any witness fees received must be turned in to their department’s accounting unit, as well as any mileage allowed, if County transportation is used.
