Re: forced to use vac time for jury duty
Your employer is required to provide time off for jury service. However, the employer is not required to pay you for that time. In other words, if you want to be paid for the time you are on jury duty (other than what the county pays for such service), you can be required to use your accumulated vacation time and/or personal time, depending on your employer's policies.
