Jury Duty Leave
death of a family member. Although not required by OFLA, Oregon Charter Academy may provide full-time employees up to five (5) days of paid leave (prorated for FTE), upon request. Eligible employees are entitled to two weeks of leave per death of a family member, up to 12 weeks per leave year. The leave must be completed within 60 days of the death of the family member. If multiple family members die at the same time, the employee is not required to take leave for all deceased family members at the same time.
Leave may be taken without prior notice to Oregon Charter Academy, but oral notice must be provided to Oregon Charter Academy within 24 hours of taking leave and written notice within three days of returning to work. Proof of death and relationship to the deceased may be requested by Oregon Charter Academy.

Employees are permitted to use any existing accrued paid leave, including sick leave, vacation leave or any paid leave.
Leave taken for bereavement leave will be counted against an employee’s OFLA leave entitlement.
EFFECT OF BEREAVEMENT PAY ON OVERTIME CALCULATION
Bereavement hours and the hours of normally scheduled work time will be used in the determination of hours worked in the workweek towards overtime for non-exempt employees.
JURY DUTY LEAVE
We recognize a staff member’s civic responsibility to serve on a jury if requested to do so. Regular and full-time term of project employees will be paid their full salary for up to four (4) weeks for jury duty leave. For non-exempt employees, jury duty leave that falls during the hours of regularly scheduled work time will be used in the determination of hours worked during the workweek for the purpose of calculating overtime. All staff may take unpaid leave as needed to perform jury duty.
To be eligible for paid leave under this policy, a staff member must submit a copy of their jury summons to Human Resources upon receipt and must inform their manager on a daily basis when they will need to be in court. The staff member is also required to report to work on partial or full days when the court does not require the staff member’s presence. Upon being excused from jury duty, staff members are required to submit either the stamped jury duty summons or a certificate of attendance to Human Resources.
