Jury Duty
Serving on a jury is a fundamental responsibility of citizenship, and the RISE Charter School supports this important role in our society. Upon receipt of the initial official notification, an employee selected for jury duty must submit a copy of such notice to the immediate supervisor and to the RISE Charter School office as soon as possible so that appropriate substitute needs can be met. If the absence would pose a significant hardship for the School, the employee may be asked to request a postponement of jury duty from the court.
Upon being excused from jury service during any day, an employee shall return to complete his or her assignment for the remainder of the regular work day.
Jury duty leave is paid for up to ten work days. Employees must submit all compensation paid by the Court to be eligible for compensated jury duty leave.
