6.8 Jury Duty U.S. citizens have a civic obligation to provide jury duty service when called. By state law, an employee cannot be threatened or disciplined for taking leave for jury duty. The employee cannot be required to work in addition to jury service, if extra hours would mean working overtime or beyond normal quitting time. The employee must bring in jury duty summons and all other associated paperwork as soon as it is received so that appropriate arrangements can be made to cover their duties. Employees will be granted time off to serve on a jury or military leave without pay. Employees are required to call in or report for work on those days or parts of days when their presence in court is not required.
6.10 Military Family Leave Employees with a spouse or registered domestic partner serving in the United States Armed Forces, National Guard or Reserves may take up to fifteen (15) days of unpaid leave when their spouse or domestic partner is on a leave from deployment during a military conflict. To be eligible for this leave, the employee must work an average of at least 20 hours per week and have a spouse or domestic partner who is either 1. A member of the United States Armed Forces deployed during a military conflict to a designated combat theatre or combat zone; or 2. A member of the National Guard who has been deployed during a period of military conflict; or 3. A member of the Military Reserves who has been deployed during a period of military conflict. Eligible employees are required to notify the Company of their intention to take such leave within 2 days of receiving official notice that the spouse or domestic partner will be on qualified leave and provide documentation certifying that the spouse or domestic partner will be on leave from deployment during the time the leave is requested.
6.9 Military Leave USERRA Military leaves are available to eligible
employees who enter the Uniformed Services of the United States, including the National Guard and the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service, or the state military forces, or the reserve components of the same, to participate in active or inactive duty or training. Time off is also permitted for an examination to determine one's fitness for duty in any of the federal military forces. Such leave will be granted in accordance with state and federal laws, provided all legal requirements are satisfied and the employee returns to work or applies for reemployment within the time prescribed by law. The employee must provide advance notice of the need for leave whenever possible. The employee should give the employee's supervisor as much advance notice as possible to allow the Company to make arrangements to cover their position. Employees on federal military leave may be entitled to continue health insurance benefits, at the employee's expense, for up to twenty- four months from the date of military departure.
