No, but they don't have to pay you your days salary either, although many will, it is not required that they do so.
Actually, many states have laws about how employees are to be paid while on jury duty. Check with your state employment commission.
On the DAYS they are compelled to report for jury duty.
No, Walmart employees who are on jury duty do not have to report to work during their absence. They are entitled to take time off to fulfill their civic duty without facing any negative consequences from their employer.
No, your husband cannot take your place for jury duty. Jury duty is a personal civic responsibility, and only the individual summoned can fulfill that obligation. If you are unable to attend, you may need to request a deferral or exemption through the court. It's important to follow the specific guidelines provided in your jury summons.
To take the light rail to jury duty, you should decide what route to take. From there, look up the light rail routes. Make sure you have them all timed out as to not miss one.
can an employer force an employee to take a leave of absence with no medical documentation?
It most likely was not legal. Jury duty is a compulsory duty imposed by law and it may not be interfered with by private individuals or companies. States have laws that require employers to permit their employees to fulfill jury duty requirements without retaliation. Employers cannot be forced to pay an employee for time missed from work, but they cannot take any adverse action against you for going. Same in the UK and all civilized countries, providing the employer is made aware of the duty. An individual or company with a strong case can ask for a deferral of duty.
The rules generally include a provision that you get approval for vacation time off by requesting it in advance and providing the dates you will be out so the employer can plan for adequate coverage during your absence. Deciding on your own to take a vacation and simply not showing up for work can be reason for dismissal.
if you miss jury duty you can be sentenced to 60 days in jail and/or given a $1000 fine
If you wish apon a star.
Yes. There is no law that say that an employer actually has to give you a paid vacation in the first place. The vacation is a perkquisite of the job. It is the reason that you must work for a set number of days before you "earn" the vacation. If you resign before you take the vacation, you simply forfeit the time and money because you did not take advantage of the perk attached to the job. "Earned vacation" only counts when you take the paid time.
I think it is possible. Employees directed by superiors to travel are in work status, not a vacation during which they are free NOT to work. As long as employer requires work, and exercises control over employee, it is paid work.
Guess what? Whether you believe it or not, or whether it is ultimately fair, employers have no legal obligation to offer you any vacation time. The same applies to holiday pay. Both are given at the discretion of the employer and not mandated by law. Moreover, even if an employee does offer vacation benefits, the employer can dictate how much and when you can take that vacation time. Thus, believe it or not, an employer can tell you that you are not entitled to vacation pay unless and until you work for a full year
