Changes to Jury Duty and Witness Leave Policy

University leadership has decided to increase paid time off offered to staff for jury duty service. While there is no requirement for Hamline to provide any paid leave for jury service, Hamline's policy has provided pay continuation to staff for up to three days, and has extended leave to witness testimony as well.

Going forward, pay continuation for staff will be increased from three days to ten days during jury duty and witness appearances.  Any staff employee who is required to serve beyond ten days is encouraged to communicate with Hamline's Chief of Staff, Betsy Radtke. 

The updated Jury Duty and Witness Leave policy is now available online at hamline.edu/policies
