Tell your manager when service may affect work

For employees with a jury summons or other public-service notice and managers planning coverage.

Share the dates currently known, note what is still uncertain, and say when you expect to provide an update. Use the applicable local guidance for pay, eligibility, documentation, and leave terms; this fictional example does not determine them.

Coordinate the work handoff

  1. 1

    Share the work schedule information

    Tell your manager that service may affect work, provide known dates, and identify when you expect more information.

  2. 2

    Identify affected work

    Flag time-sensitive tasks, deadlines, or meetings that may need a covering role or rescheduling.

  3. 3

    Follow local instructions for records

    Use the approved process for any supporting documents; do not send sensitive records through an unapproved channel.

  4. 4

    Update the plan when dates change

    Tell your manager when you have a material schedule update and revise work handoffs as needed.

Use the applicable request route

Use Leave Management if the local civic-service process is configured there; a request entry is not confirmation of approval.

Ask People Operations through the established channel if you cannot find the policy or approved route.
