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.
Generally, Indiana statutes don't provide for any exemptions from jury service. There are two exceptions. The first permits individuals who are 75 years of age or over to claim an exemption under IC 33-28-5-18(d).
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.
