Jury Duty
YFAI encourages employees to appear in court for witness duty when subpoenaed to
do so. If employees have been subpoenaed or otherwise requested to testify as
witnesses by YFAI, they will receive paid time off for the entire period of witness duty.
YFAI encourages employees to fulfill their civic duties and responsibilities by serving
jury duty when required. Jury duty pay will be calculated on the employee’s base
salary. Only regular full-time employees are eligible to be paid for jury duty leave. Pay
for jury duty is not considered as time worked for the purpose of computing overtime.
Employees must present the jury summons to their supervisor as soon as possible in
order that arrangements may be made to accommodate the employee’s absence. Of
course, the employee is expected to report for work whenever the court schedule
permits. Employee will receive full pay for Jury Duty, minus the amount compensated
from courts. All monies compensated from courts should be turned in immediately to an
immediate Supervisor or Manager.
If employee is NOT selected for jury duty, they are expected to report back to work.
YFAI may ask the employee to reschedule the period of jury duty if, in the company’s
judgment, the employee’s absence, at the designated time, would create serious
operational difficulties.
Insurance benefits will remain in effect and unchanged for the full term of the jury duty
absence.
