Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship
Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request your understanding and support regarding my current situation with jury duty summons. I want to bring to your attention the financial hardship I am facing as a result of serving on a jury, and kindly ask for your assistance in obtaining a release from this obligation. As you may be aware, I have been summoned to serve as a juror in the upcoming trial scheduled on [date]. While I understand that serving on a jury is an important civic duty, I regret to inform you that fulfilling this obligation will subject me to severe financial difficulties due to the nature of my employment. As an essential employee of [Company Name], I play a vital role in ensuring the smooth operations of our department. My absence would greatly impact the team's productivity and hinder the successful completion of ongoing projects. Moreover, my absence would entail significant financial loss for me personally, since my income is largely dependent on the number of hours I work and any time off would result in a substantial reduction in my pay. In addition to my financial responsibilities, I am also the primary provider for my family. My sudden inability to meet their needs, including essential expenses such as rent, utilities, and groceries, would place undue hardship on them during a time when financial stability is crucial. This situation would adversely affect not only my well-being but also the overall morale and performance within the workplace. In light of these circumstances, I kindly request your support in obtaining a release from jury duty. I understand that providing such a release is at your discretion, and I assure you that my commitment to fulfilling my civic duty is unwavering. However, I sincerely believe that the present financial hardships I would face as a result of serving on the jury would have significant and detrimental effects on my personal and professional life. I am willing to provide any necessary documentation, such as financial statements or bills, to further support my plea for release. I also propose exploring alternative options, such as deferring my jury service to a more convenient time, if possible, to ensure I can fulfill my obligations without negatively impacting my financial stability. Furthermore, I genuinely appreciate your understanding and consideration regarding this matter. Your support in alleviating the financial burden caused by jury duty would not only be of immense help to me but also contribute to the continuity and success of our team. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me to discuss this further or if any additional information is required. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Employee ID or other identifying information]
