Hi. I've searched the boards, google and citizensinformation.ie but cannot find clarity on this issue.
For jury service, what are an employees rights in relation to jury duty when they are called but are NOT picked for service.
For example person is called to appear in court on Monday at 9 am, but are not picked to serve and so are dismissed at approx 11 am, then asked to re-appear on Wed at 9 but again are not picked to serve. Should this employee return to work at the earliest opportunity (say 11.30 am on Monday and also work Tuesday) as i am paying him/her? or is he/she entitled to take the full 2 weeks off despite the fact they may only be required for an hour or so every couple of days?
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.
If someone knows where i stand on this, can they also provide a link or some documentation so i can show my employee? Thanks
