Indiana Request for Excuse (IRE) is a legal form used by employers in the state of Indiana as a way to excuse an employee from jury duty. The IRE form is typically filled out by an employer on behalf of an employee and submitted to the court or other government agency responsible for jury selection. It is used to explain why the employee cannot serve on a jury and requests that they be excused from the duty. There are two types of Indiana Requests for Excuse: General Request for Excuse and Hardship Request for Excuse. The General Request for Excuse is used when an employer believes their employee’s absence from work would cause undue hardship on the business. The Hardship Request for Excuse is used when an employer believes their employee should be excused due to a medical, financial, or other urgent situation.
