Article 29: Court Appearance

1. An Employee required by law to appear in court as a member of a jury, or for jury selection, or as a witness, shall be paid the difference between the pay received for such court service and the pay the Employee would have normally received if they have been working based on their Basic Rate of Pay. Any other reasonable costs associated with these court duties will be reimbursed.
2. It is agreed that where an Employee is subpoenaed as a witness as a direct result of their regular duties with the Employer, they shall not suffer any loss of pay while so serving when the witness duty coincides with a regularly scheduled on-duty Shift. Should any Employee be required to serve as a witness in any case arising as a result of their regular duties with the Employer on their scheduled day(s) off they shall be paid at the rate of two times (2X) their basic rate for all hours so served on the basis of a twelve (12) hour day.
3. When a Casual Employee, as a result of their duties, is summoned or subpoenaed as a witness or defendant to appear in court or other legal proceeding, they shall be paid at the Basic Rate of Pay for such appearance.
