This past weekend I was graced with a jury summons in my mail box. I’ve been summoned before, and was happy to take time unpaid away from my retail job at the time!
I currently work full time in an office. Per the employee handbook, you cannot take time off unpaid until you have used all of your PTO to the negative balance allowed. PTO must be used for ANY and all absences, to get you to 40 hours per week, before time can be taken off unpaid.
I asked if there were exclusions for jury duty. NOPE. So now I just have to hope really hard that I am not selected to serve on a jury, as I will be forfeiting the very minimal PTO I have and hours I have yet to earn! Yay!
