Jury Duty and Court Attendance Policy

$300.00

The Jury Duty and Court Attendance Policy provides a supportive framework for staff and volunteers fulfilling their civic obligations while ensuring the continuity of educational services. It guarantees that employees are not penalised for jury service and outlines the school's commitment to providing "make up pay" for the initial 10 days of service in accordance with the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). The policy distinguishes between professional witness duties, which are treated as paid working time, and personal court matters, which generally require the use of existing leave entitlements.
