Does royal mail pay jury service
In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail, like many other employers, is required by law to pay employees who are summoned for jury service. This is outlined in the Juries Act 1974 and the Employment Rights Act 1996.
According to Royal Mail's policy, employees who are summoned for jury service are entitled to:
- Take time off work to attend jury service without loss of pay or annual leave.
- Receive their normal pay and benefits while serving on a jury.
- Have their job kept open for them while they are away serving on a jury.
Royal Mail's policy is to pay employees their normal salary and benefits while they are serving on a jury, including:
- Their basic salary
- Any bonuses or allowances
- Any overtime pay
- Any other benefits, such as pension contributions or health insurance
It's worth noting that Royal Mail may require employees to provide evidence of their jury service, such as a summons or a certificate of service, to support their claim for pay and benefits.
It's also important to note that employees who are summoned for jury service are not required to use their annual leave or take unpaid leave while serving on a jury.
