Jury Duty or Witness
The CSU will continue your salary while on jury duty, regardless of length of jury service.
You are entitled to keep any travel expenses (i.e., mileage) associated with jury duty service.
What to do when you receive a jury summons:
- Notify your supervisor of your jury summons.
- For each day served you must submit a Certificate of Jury Service also known as a proof of service to Human Resources. This is provided to you by the court as you are a California State employee. Email to leaves@csumb.edu
- Enter your absences into Absence Management as Jury Duty so you are paid.
- State courts: as a state employee, you are prohibited from receiving the daily juror stipend because you are paid by the CSU for service.
- Federal courts: your daily juror stipend must be made payable to the CSU and turned into the CSUMB Accounting Office.
- Travel expenses: mileage associated with jury service may be paid directly to you by the court. If not, submit a travel expense claim form to your manager for processing.
- More information is available through the Guide to Jury Service.
