MCC encourages you to fulfill your civic responsibilities by serving jury duty if you get a summons. Employees with 90 calendar days of service in an eligible classification may request up to 1 week of paid jury duty leave over any 1 year period.

If you are eligible for jury duty, you will be paid at your base rate of pay for the number of hours you would normally have worked that day. Employees in the following classifications are eligible for paid jury duty leave:

If you stay on jury duty longer than paid jury duty allows, you may use any available paid time off benefits you have, such as vacation, to be paid for the unpaid jury duty leave.

If you get a jury duty summons, show it to your supervisor as soon as possible. This will help us plan for your possible absence from work. We expect you to come to work whenever the court schedule permits.

Either you or MCC may ask the court to excuse you from jury duty if necessary. We may ask that you be relieved from going on jury duty if we think that your absence would cause serious operational problems for MCC.

Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable plans, MCC will continue to provide health insurance benefits for the full period of unpaid jury duty leave.

To be eligible for paid jury leave, you must reimburse MCC any allowances provided by the court as a result of your jury service. Your vacation, sick leave, and holiday benefits will continue to accrue during unpaid jury duty leave.
