What is Jury Duty Leave?
Employer-provided time off for an employee summoned to serve on a jury or appear as a witness in court proceedings. All US states prohibit employers from terminating or penalizing employees for jury service, though pay requirements vary by jurisdiction.

Jury Duty Leave comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
