When the leave cannot be scheduled during non -work hours and the need for the leave is foreseeable, the employee must provide reasonable prior notice of the leave and make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as not to unduly disrupt the operations of the employer. Employees may use accrued vacation leave or compensatory time off concurrently with leave granted pursuant to this section. 6.11 Jury or Witness Duty Any employee who is required to serve as a juror or who is under subpoena as a witness in court for job related purposes, shall be granted a leave of absence with pay while serving in such capacity.
