How do I get paid for Jury Duty?

When you receive a letter (a summons) with the date and time you need to serve you can give a photocopy of this letter to your supervisor or let them know what day you will be missing and why. In the letter you receive from the courts (the summons) there will be a number to call after 5pm the night before you are to appear for jury duty. If you call this number and they tell you that you are no longer needed, you must show up for work! If you are told by the recording that you are still to appear for jury duty, you must then call the company attendance line and tell them that you will be absent due to jury duty. Yes, even though you have already told your supervisor. Before you leave from jury duty, they will pass out $10.00 checks to everyone. Unless the company rules change, you can cash the check and keep the money for yourself, but Chrysler needs the check stub to prove you really did serve. Make sure you turn in the check stub before the end of that week's pay period or they might refuse you payment. You should keep a photocopy for your own records.
