Policy 2.4.5 Leave for Jury Duty*

2.4.5 Leave for Jury Service*

Leeds University Union will grant time off work for an employee called for Jury Service. The notification document should be shown to the Line Manager who shall pass it to the Chief Executive.

Employees should claim from the court the maximum amount to which they are entitled in respect of loss of earnings. This form will be supplied by the courts and must be presented to the HR Officer prior to undertaking Jury service duties.

Leeds University Union will pay the difference between normal salary and the compensation for loss of earnings received from the court (i.e. excluding the sum payable as an incidental subsistence allowance) and thus staff should suffer no financial loss while on jury service.
