Hi there.
I was recently called for dury duty - the first day we are explained our entitlements.
You are bound to attend in the morning from 9.30 (or when ever they tell you to arrive), and your employer is required to pay you.
If you are not called for service - you must return to work. If you do not return to work the employer may only pay you half a days wages.
If you are called for service, the person is obliged to stay for the day and the employer is oblidged to pay the person for the full day.
P..
I have an employee who has said he/she will be back to work in two weeks due to jury duty which i think is wrong.
That's tyhe main issue here.Hi Sman
I think you have an employee with a serious attitude problem. You need to sort that out.

Any non-public sector employee who goes into their boss with that sort of a childish attitude is asking for trouble. They should find out the facts themselves before they waltz in with an "I've got a note from me Mammy for two weeks off" attitude.Or the employee may not know what the story is either. I assume that the letter says they must be available for up to two weeks...they could well end up on a case for that long.

Yes, I’ve seen a few of them.Do you even know what a letter calling someone to jury service looks like or how it reads?
I made a general comment. I did not imply that it was the case in the Ops situation.Hmmm, that is hardly enough detail to imply that they waltzed in etc etc

I said "Any non-public sector employee who goes into their boss with that sort of a childish attitude is asking for trouble."haha, that's not a general comment. It was clearly implied by both the way it was written, the tone and the fact it was a reply to my post which was about the original point.
In my opinion common sense says that it starts when the individual is required to be in attendance for selection or actual service and ends whenever they are not - e.g. starts at 9AM when the individual needs to be there for jury selection and ends at (say) 11AM when they have not been selected and have been dismissed for the day. If they are selected for actual service then it will be as long as the trial is ongoing and they are required in court or elsewhere (e.g. hotel when considering a verdict and instructed to reside there by the judge).There is only a very vague phrase that employees must be paid when on jury service - but when does service start and end? Thanks again...
