Article 25: Leave – Court Duty

A Resident subpoenaed for jury duty or as a witness shall be placed on leave of absence for the period required for court duty. All benefits of the agreement continue to accrue during this period of leave of absence and he/she shall continue to receive regular pay. The Resident shall turn over to the Employer any witness or jury fees received as a result of being subpoenaed, providing these do not exceed the Resident’s regular pay for the period of leave. Should the Resident receive any fees which exceed his/her regular pay the Resident shall keep this money.

Where a Resident is party to the proceedings and is required to appear in court, the Employer shall grant the Resident an unpaid leave of absence.
