The employee will not be asked to pay to the University any amount of compensation received by the employee from the court.  The employee is required, however, to return to work any day he or she is excused by the court for a period greater than four (4) hours.

Faculty are expected to make suitable arrangements for coverage of classes with their department chair. Employees whose work shifts do not coincide with jury service hours may also be relieved of employment duties during jury service.  Arrangements for coverage should be made through the appropriate personnel office in consultation with the employee’s department.
