CREA Employee Handbook - Core Final (Updated 2025)

3.1 Federal Jury Duty Leave

CREA, LLC, encourages employees to fulfill their civic duties related to federal jury duty service. If you are summoned for federal jury duty, notify your manager as soon as possible to make scheduling arrangements. Time spent for federal jury duty service is unpaid; however, if you are classified as exempt, you will not incur any deduction in pay for a partial week’s absence due to jury duty. You may opt to use PTO in place of unpaid leave. The Company will not discriminate or retaliate against employees for missing work due to federal jury service. Upon return to work, you will be reinstated to your prior position without loss of seniority and will be treated as if you have been on a leave of absence or furlough. 3.2 MyCREABenefits.com At CREA, we view employee benefits as an essential part of your overall compensation package, and we commit to providing you and your family with comprehensive and competitive services.
