Appearance in Court or Witness Duty (not including Jury Duty)

If an Employee is required to appear in court or serve as a witness, the Employee is to notify their Supervisor immediately so that plans for the absence may be made with as little disruption to work as possible. Employees who are required to appear in court or serve as a witness on behalf of the University will be paid their regular wages for this time.

Non-Exempt Employees will not receive pay for time taken off for appearance in court or witness duty not requested by the University. Employees may elect to use vacation time in lieu of part or all unpaid time off.

Exempt Employees will receive regular pay while appearing in court or serving as a witness if they have performed work for any portion of a workweek in which they appeared in court, provided the University expressly permitted the Exempt Employee to work on behalf of the University during that time.

Employees are to provide the University with a copy of their court appearance subpoena/summons.
