Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Paying Employees when they have jury duty or are subpoenaed

Recently, an employee of mine was subpoenaed to court. I am wondering if as her employer I am responsible for paying her for this time off work. I believe I am responsible for jury duty but not subpoenas.

Thanks!

Re: Paying Employees when they have jury duty or are subpoenaed

You are correct that no law requires you to pay for time missed due to subpoena, but Georgia law does provide that an employee cannot be terminated for appearing in court pursuant to a subpoena. You are also correct about jury duty.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. Consult your attorney before taking legal action. No attorney/client relationship has been created or should be implied by anything contained herein.
