Sec. 24.3. (a) If a person:
(1) is summoned to serve as a juror; and
(2) notifies the person's employer of the jury summons within a reasonable period:
(A) after receiving the jury summons; and
(B) before the person appears for jury service;
the person's employer may not subject the person to any adverse employment action as the result of the person's jury service.
(b) An employee may not be required or requested to use annual leave, vacation leave, or sick leave for time spent:
(1) responding to a summons for jury service;
(2) participating in the jury selection process; or
(3) serving on a jury.
This subsection does not require an employer to provide annual leave, vacation leave, or sick leave to an employee who is not otherwise entitled to these benefits.
(c) If:
(1) a prospective juror works for an employer with not more than ten (10) full-time employees (or their equivalent);
(2) another employee of the employer described in subdivision (1) is performing jury service; and
(3) the prospective juror or the person performing jury service notifies the court that they both work for the same employer;
the court shall reschedule the prospective juror's jury service for a date that does not overlap with the jury service of the other employee.
