A formal notification from an employee to their employer serves as documentation of their summons for jury service. This notification typically includes a copy of the official summons and details the dates of required service. A sample might state, “This letter confirms my legal obligation to attend jury duty from [start date] to [end date], as indicated by the attached court summons.”
Such communication facilitates a smooth transition for the employee’s absence, ensuring the employer is aware of the legal obligation and can make necessary arrangements for workload coverage. This process upholds the judicial system by enabling citizen participation, a cornerstone of democratic societies for centuries. Clear and timely communication benefits both employee and employer, mitigating potential misunderstandings and supporting the employee’s civic duty.
