ARTICLE 30 <br />COURT DUTY <br />30.01 COURT LEAVE <br />A. Employees attending court as a witness on behalf of a public jurisdiction or <br />for jury duty during their normal working hours shall receive full pay equal to <br />their normal work schedule for the hours they attend court. This time shall be <br />charged as leave with pay. Remuneration paid by the court shall be turned <br />over to the Employer. <br />B. All permanent full-time employees subpoenaed to attend court on behalf of <br />the Employer are eligible for leave with pay. Any remuneration shall be <br />turned over to the Employer. <br />C. Those employees who become witnesses, plaintiffs, or defendants in the <br />matters unrelated to the Employer are not eligible for leave with pay. <br />Employees who are parties against the County in any proceeding, or who <br />appear without subpoena as witnesses for a party against the County in any <br />proceeding are not eligible for leave with pay. <br />D. Nonexempt employees who attend court representing the Employer on their <br />day off will be compensated in accordance with the overtime provision. <br />However, every attempt should be made not to schedule a court appearance <br />on the employee's day off. <br />E. Employees who attend court for only a portion of a regularly scheduled work <br />day are required to report to their supervisor within a reasonable period of <br />time of being excused or released (other than for the night) by court. The <br />failure to so report will be cause for disciplinary action, including termination <br />of employment. <br />49 <br />
