Jury Duty

NCG Medical encourages you to fulfill your civic responsibilities by serving jury duty if you get a summons. You may request unpaid jury duty leave for the absence. You may also use any available paid time off benefits you have to be paid for an unpaid jury duty leave.

If you get a jury duty summons, show it to your supervisor as soon as possible. This will help us plan for your likely absence from work. We expect you to come to work whenever the court schedule permits.

Either you or NCG may ask the court to excuse you from jury duty if necessary. We may request that you be relieved from going on jury duty if we think that your absence would cause severe operational problems for NCG.

Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable plans, NCG Medical will continue to provide health insurance benefits for a maximum period of thirty calendar days after unpaid jury duty leave begins. At that time, you will be responsible for the total cost of those benefits for your coverage to continue. When you return from unpaid jury duty leave, NCG Medical will provide those benefits according to the applicable plans.

Your vacation, sick leave, and holiday benefits will continue to accrue during unpaid jury duty leave.
