442 Jury Duty and other Civic Duties 442. JURY DUTY AND OTHER CIVIC ACTIVITIES The Board directs that professional employees shall be protected against loss of pay occasioned by such civic responsibilities as jury duty, serving as witnesses in court proceedings and service as elected officials to election boards in accordance with the following provisions. Professional employees who are eligible for absence payment and are required to perform jury duty, serve as witnesses in court proceedings or who serve as elected officials to election boards will receive salary differential payments for such absences. Differential payments will be the difference between normal base pay and pay received for the civic duty. Such absences shall not be charged to allowable absence eligibility. An absence report must be filed in the District Business Office, along with a statement from the court, attorney or senior election official showing dates served and payment received for the service. When the professional employee’s presence is not required in the courthouse or polling place, s/he will report to his/her respective building principal, administrator or supervisor for assignment.
