Sections
350-35-3 am
Analysis
This ordinance removes the provision that requires the deduction of juror pay from employee wages.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 350-35-3 of the code is amended to read:
350-35. Leave of Absence Policies.
3. TIME-OFF FOR JURY DUTY. Unless stated otherwise in a certified collective bargaining agreement while it is in force and in effect, employees shall be granted time-off with pay for reporting for jury duty or jury service upon presentation of satisfactory evidence relating to this duty or service. Employees shall retain all compensation received for jury-duty service[[, but shall have deducted from their city pay an amount equal to the compensation received by them for jury duty, exclusive of travel pay and pay for jury duty performed on off-duty days]]. No greater amount of time shall be granted than necessary, and in any case, if an employee is called for jury duty and reports therefor without receiving a jury assignment for that day, or if the employee is engaged in jury duty or service for a part of a day, the employee shall, if his or her city work is available, report for the performance of city duties for the remainder of the day. [[If jury duty coincides with any furlough dates, the employee shall not be paid salary from the city on those dates but shall be allowed to retain jury-duty compensation.]]
