What is Jury duty leave?

Jury duty leave is a type of leave granted to employees who are summoned to serve on a jury. During this time, employees are typically allowed to take time off from work without penalty, and in some cases, they may receive compensation either from their employer or a daily stipend from the court. The specifics of jury duty leave, including duration and pay, can vary by jurisdiction and employer policies. It ensures that individuals can fulfill their civic duty without facing negative consequences in their employment.
