Introduction

The West Chicago Park District recognizes jury
service as an important civic responsibility and
encourages all employees to fulfill their obligations when called to serve. The District
supports employees who are selected for jury duty by providing eligible employees with
time away from work to fulfill their legal obligation without adversely affecting their
employment status.
This policy establishes the District's procedures for jury duty leave, including eligibility,
compensation, notification, documentation, and return-to-work requirements. Employees
are expected to provide timely notice to their supervisor and cooperate with the District's
requirements for documenting their jury service.

Full-Time Jury Duty

Full-time employees selected for jury duty will be granted time off, with full pay, for the
duration of their jury service.

All other employees will receive jury duty leave without pay from the Park District. All
employees must provide written notice, supported with appropriate documentation of
jury duty (e.g., the jury duty summons), to their immediate supervisor as promptly as
possible, before reporting for jury duty. During jury duty, and as promptly as possible,
employees must inform their immediate supervisor as to the expected duration of the
jury duty. Following jury duty, all employees must provide the Park District with
