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. An employee cannot receive more than the employee's normal take-home pay as a result of any employer pay supplemented to Jury Duty pay. Jury duty pay excluding transportation reimbursement, must be remitted to the City within 30 days after receipt of payment from judicial agency. When employees are excused from jury duty or serving as a witness during their regular working hours, they are expected to return to work if practicable. 6.12 Funeral Leave Employees are allowed funeral leave up to 24 hours twice annually per occurrence (a maximum of 48 hours during any calendar year) for a death in the immediate family.
