[Michlib-l] Questions about policies regarding Snow days, jury duty and other days off

[Cynthia Stanczak]

Same here at Albion.  Only change to the jury duty is that staff can choose
to take leave and receive their allotted jury pay during the time of their
service, or they can be paid their normal rate for the time and sign the
jury payment back over to the library.  Same as we do for workers
compensation payments - one or the other source of payment, not both.
