Jury duty compensation will not be deducted from this amount. While serving on a jury, employees are expected to report for regular work hours to the extent permitted by the schedule of jury duty.

Bereavement Leave
All benefit-eligible employees are eligible for bereavement leave. Employees will be granted up to three working days leave of absence with pay for the purpose of attending or making arrangements in the event of a death in the immediate family (spouse, child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, sister, stepsister, brother, stepbrother, sibling of spouse, mother-in-law, father-inlaw, grandparent, step grandparent, grandchild, step grandchild). An additional two days of paid leave may be granted under certain circumstances, e.g.

Twenty days’ written notice is required, accompanied by a certification from the appointing authority stating the hourly compensation to be paid to the employee for service as an election judge and the hours during which the employee will serve.
Political Leaves
An employee who is entitled to attend a major political party precinct caucus is permitted to take unpaid time off to attend. Ten days’ written notice is required. Employees may take unpaid time off to attend any meeting of the state central committee or executive committee of a major political party if the employee is a member of the committee. Unpaid time off can also be granted to attend any convention of a major political party if the employee is a delegate or alternate delegate.
Time Off for Voting
Employees may take reasonable time off to vote without penalty or deduction from salary or wages. Time off may be taken to vote in regularly scheduled state primaries or general elections, an election to fill the vacancy in the office of U.S. senator or U.S. representative, an election to fill the vacancy in the office of state senator or state representative, or a presidential primary. Requests for time off to vote should be made to supervisors in advance.
Unpaid Personal Leave
In the event an employee is not eligible for FMLA or other leaves, and/or has exhausted available paid time (such as vacation, sick, and personal holiday), they must submit an Unpaid Leave Request Form to their department supervisor and HR. Such leaves may be granted on a case-by-case basis. After three months of employment, employees may request a non-medical leave of absence.
Bone Marrow/Organ Donation Leave
Employees who work at least twenty hours per week will be granted a paid leave of absence of up to forty hours if they seek to undergo a medical procedure to donate bone marrow or an organ. This leave may be taken on an intermittent basis. Employees must notify their supervisor, in advance, of the length of the leave, and notify HR so the appropriate steps and documentation can begin. A document from the physician verifying the purpose and length of the leave will be required.
School Conferences & Activities Leave
Employees may be granted up to sixteen hours per year to attend school conferences or school-related activities of their children, provided these activities cannot be scheduled during non-work hours.
