Jury Duty Leave
Delta & Phoenix
If you receive a letter to perform jury duty, we ask that you let your manager know as soon as
possible. If you are required to attend court as a juror, you will be considered to be on unpaid
leave for the period of the jury duty. If the jury duty leads you to be sequestered for long periods
of time, we may hire a person on a contract basis to cover the work while you are away;
however, regardless of the length of your duty, your position will be maintained.
If you wish to keep receiving a pay-cheque, you have the option of using your accrued vacation
days during this time.
