Jury Duty Leave Jury duty leave in Michigan is governed by federal law, as in every other state. Employers must provide time off to employees summoned to serve on a jury. Employers should grant unpaid leave to employees called to serve on a jury.
An employee may not be required or requested to use annual, vacation, personal, or sick leave for time spent responding to a jury summons, time spent participating in the jury selection process, or time spent actually serving on a jury.
Potential for Excusal: Yes, you can potentially be excused from jury duty if you have pre-existing vacation plans. Courts typically understand that jurors have personal lives and commitments and may accommodate requests for excusal or postponement under reasonable circumstances.
Answer. You can ask to be excused for "undue hardship." Whether you will be excused is up to your local county board, jury commission, or jury administrator. Sometimes you need prior approval of the chief judge of the relevant judicial circuit. Just wanting to "get out" of jury duty won't work.
Casual business attire is most appropriate. T-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, jeans and sneakers are discouraged. Uniforms are not acceptable. Extremes in dress may cause you to be sent home to change.
Reasons for Being Excused from Jury Service Medical reasons. Public necessity. Undue hardship. Dependent care. Student Status. Military conflict. Other reason deemed sufficient by the court.
