“I just got back from a 3-hour lunch meeting where I reviewed with a
vice president all the changes in our benefits and services policies
that will appear in the next iteration of our
Employee Handbook. I
could speak with knowledge, confidence and authority largely because
of your
Personnel Policy Manual with all of its supporting guidance
and documentation. You are my #1 resource when it comes to
policies.
Keep up the good work!”

Are we required to pay employees on jury duty?
|
|
Q. We know that
we must give employees time off to serve on a jury.
Are we also required to pay
employees for time spent on jury duty?
A.
Federal
and most state laws require employers to give
employees time-off to
serve on a jury, and some state laws also require that employees be
given time-off to serve as a witness. However, federal law and most
state laws do not require employees to be paid for time spent away
from work because of jury or witness obligations. Only a few states,
including Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York, require
compensation for a limited time for employees who serve on jury or
witness duty. In addition, employers may not discipline employees
who properly take time off for jury or witness duty and should
assume that they may be on jury leave for an indefinite time.

Some organizations voluntarily
pay their employees for days missed
for these reasons but deduct the amount paid by the court from the
employee’s regular compensation. This practice is consistent with the philosophy behind
the jury duty protection laws which are intended to encourage
individuals to perform their civic duty. Since employees may become
involved in very long trials, it is important to specify that any
pay that is granted will be calculated as regular base pay and
limited to some finite period.
[Creating HR Policies or Employee Handbook?]
Employers should note that employees who are exempt under the
Fair
Labor Standards Act must be paid for the whole week for any workweek
in which they serve as a juror or witness and also perform actual
work. However, they do not have to be paid for any workweek in which
they serve as a juror or witness and do not perform any work.
