As a business owner, how will you handle an employee’s summons for jury duty?

Serving on a jury is one of the highest duties of citizenship. The federal or state government summons a citizen to appear as part of the selection process for choosing a jury. If selected, a juror will join a body of 12 people who are sworn to render a verdict, penalty, or judgment in a legal case.

While the process of selecting jurors typically lasts a day, jury duty can last anywhere from one day to several months if your employee is selected as a juror for a trial. The possibility of an employee getting called for and assigned jury duty can create unpredictability and potentially extra costs for employers.

Jury duty is a #civicresponsibility that everyone will be called to partake in at some point.

When an employee is summoned for #juryduty, an employer should:

Let them attend.
Check with state laws about compensation.
Create an employee handbook policy (in advance) to establish procedures and expectations
Not attempt to terminate the employee.
