All county employees called for jury duty or as witness in any civil or criminal legal
proceeding, excluding private litigation, will be entitled to leave with pay for such
duty during the required absence. When a county employee attends court in connection
with his official duties, no leave is required. When a nonexempt employee attends
court in connection with his official duties, all time spent in travel to and from
home, or place of work, to court will be considered working time, and no leave will
be required. An employee may keep fees and travel allowances received for jury or
witness duty in addition to his regular compensation, except that employees must turn
over to Halifax county any witness fees or travel allowances awarded by the court
for court appearances in connection with their official duties. The county will compensate
employees for travel, room and board, and special expenses incurred while serving
as witnesses in connection with their official duties. While on civil leave, benefits
and leave will accrue as though on regular duty.
