For section 60 of the Act, an employee who continues to receive ordinary pay and who has no deductions from other leave entitlements while on leave to attend for jury service is taken to have received payment for attendance.
Example for subregulation
If, under by-law 20 of the
Public Sector Employment and Management By-laws, the Chief Executive
Officer releases an employee for jury service without deduction from pay or leave credits, that employee is taken to have received payment.
However, if the sheriff or deputy sheriff is satisfied that subsection (1) does not apply, the payment a juror or talesman is entitled to receive for attendance is:
for each day, or part day, of service as a juror for a trial:
60 monetary units – if the trial lasts 9 days or less; or
120 monetary units – if the trial lasts 10 days or more; and
20 monetary units for each day, or part day, the person attends for service, but does not serve as a juror for a trial.
If a trial commences before 1 July in a year and concludes after 1 July of that year, the juror or talesman is entitled to receive payment as if the trial had commenced after 1 July of that year.
If it is proved to the satisfaction of the sheriff that as result of attendance on a day, or part day, the juror or talesman has suffered financial loss, the juror or talesman is entitled to receive an additional amount for that attendance equal to the lesser of:
the amount by which the loss exceeds the amount payable under subregulation (2); and
either:
30 monetary units – if the person serves as a juror for a trial; or
20 monetary units – in any other case.
