An employee shall not receive any salary for periods of service <br />as a witness in a civil case or a criminal case in which they are a defendant. The Employer shall pay the <br />difference between the scheduled fees and the employee's hourly wage. The employee shall not be <br />required on the employee's own time to apply for such fees. Employees will be expected to report for work <br />when less than a normal workday is required by such duties. The Sheriff will endeavor to schedule an <br />employee's shift during the day if said employee is selected as a juror and if such accommodation is <br />possible and does not jeopardize service or coverage. <br />ARTICTE 17.OF ABSENCE <br />A leave of absence is an approved absence from employment without pay and without loss of seniority. <br />The Employer may grant a leave of absence for a period of up to six (6) calendar months.

The request must be in writing and must be submitted sixty (60) calendar days <br />prior to the effective date. During the time that an employee is on a leave of absence without pay, said <br />employee shall not accrue sick leave, annual leave and other benefits provided to employees who are <br />regularly working. <br />Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable plans, health insurance premiums will <br />not be paid by Kittitas County during the course of an unpaid leave of absence, except as required by the <br />Family Medical Leave Act.
