Jury Duty

PDQ encourages you to fulfill your civic responsibilities by serving jury duty if you get a summons. Employees in an eligible classification may request up to two weeks of paid jury duty leave over any one year period.

If you are eligible for jury duty, you will be paid at your base rate of pay for the number of hours you would normally have worked that day. Employees in the following classifications are eligible for paid jury duty leave:

* Full-time employees

* Part-time employees

If you stay on jury duty longer than paid jury duty allows, you may use any available paid time off benefits you have, such as vacation, to be paid for the unpaid jury duty leave.

If you get a jury duty summons, show it to your supervisor as soon as possible. This will help us plan for your possible absence from work. We expect you to come to work whenever the court schedule permits.

Either you or PDQ may ask the court to excuse you from jury duty if necessary. We may ask that you be relieved from going on jury duty if we think that your absence would cause serious operational problems for PDQ.

Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable plans, PDQ will continue to provide health insurance benefits for the full period of unpaid jury duty leave.

Your benefits, such as vacation, sick/personal leave, or holiday benefits, will not accrue during an unpaid jury duty leave. When you return from leave, the benefits will start accruing again.
