Time <br />spent on jury duty will not be counted as time worked in computing overtime. <br /> <br />Employees excused or released from jury duty during their regular working hours will report to their <br />regular work duties as soon as reasonably possible or will take accrued vacation or compensatory <br />time to make up the difference. <br /> <br />Employees are required to notify their supervisor as soon as possible after receiving notice to report <br />for jury duty. The employee will be responsible for ensuring that a report of time spent on jury duty <br />and pay form is completed by the clerk of court so the city will be able to determine the amount of <br />compensation due for the period involved. <br /> <br />Temporary and seasonal employees are generally not eligible for compensation for absences due to <br />jury duty but can take a leave without pay subject to department head approval. However, if a <br />temporary or seasonal employee is classified as exempt, he/she will receive compensation for the <br />jury duty time. <br />For reference, see Minn. Stat. § 593.50. <br /> <br />Section 11.06 Court Appearances <br />Employees will be paid their regular wage to testify in court for city-related business. Any <br />compensation received for court appearances (e.g., subpoena fees) arising out of or in connection <br />with city employment, minus mileage reimbursement, must be turned over to the city. <br /> <br />Section 11.07 Victim or Witness Leave <br />An employer must allow a victim or witness, who is subpoenaed or requested by the prosecutor to <br />attend court for the purpose of giving testimony to attend criminal proceedings related to the victim’s <br />case. Additionally, a victim of a violent crime, as well as the victim’s spouse or immediate family <br />member (immediate family member includes parent, spouse, child or sibling of the employee) may <br />have reasonable time off from work to attend criminal proceedings related to the victim’s case. An <br />employee must give 48 hours advance notice to the city of their need to be absent unless it is <br />impracticable, or an emergency prevents them from doing so. The city may request verification that <br />supports the employee’s reason for being absent from the workplace.

Stat. § 611A.036. <br /> <br />Section 11.08 Job Related Injury or Illness <br />All employees are required to report any job-related illnesses or injuries to their supervisor <br />immediately (no matter how minor). If a supervisor is not available and the nature of injury or illness <br />requires immediate treatment, the employee is to go to the nearest available medical facility for <br />treatment and, as soon as possible, notify his/her supervisor of the action taken. In the case of a <br />serious emergency, 911 should be called. <br /> <br />If the injury is not of an emergency nature, but requires medical attention, the employee will report it <br />to the supervisor and make arrangements for a medical appointment. <br /> <br />Workers’ compensation benefits and procedures to return to work will be applied according to <br />applicable state and federal laws.
