Jury Duty

If you are called for Jury Duty or subpoenaed to appear in court as a witness by Cornell or for an employment-related matter, you will receive time off with pay. If you have to appear in court on your own behalf or for a non-work related matter, then you must use personal leave or vacation in order to have paid leave.

Nonexempt employees should enter time away for Jury Duty or an employment-related court appearance under Paid Leave in COLTS. Exempt employees should record this time as Paid Leave on their monthly accrual sheet. In addition, a copy of the jury summons or subpoena should be forwarded to the Administrative Service Center.
