An employer should always be prepared to respond to an employee’s request for time off to respond to a jury service summons or subpoena, to attend court for prospective jury service or to serve as a juror. While federal law neither requires employers to provide leave for service on a state or local jury nor provides for a specified period of leave, compensation or benefits, many states do.
Our 50 state chart chart summarizes jury duty leave requirements for private employers in each state and in key municipalities, including:
- Whether an employee must provide advance notice or documentation requesting time off;
- Whether an employee is entitled to receive compensation during leave;
- The effect of jury duty leave on employee benefits (e.g., insurance, paid time off);
- Any restrictions on the length of leave or when employees must report back to work; and
- Employer-related or business-related provisions regarding postponement of or excusal from jury service.
