Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Employer's Name] [Employer's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I have been summoned for jury duty in [City/County/State] on [Date]. While I understand the importance of serving on a jury to ensure justice is served, I regretfully need to request your support in releasing me from this obligation due to significant financial hardship. As you are aware, I am a valued employee at [Company Name], and my continued presence and dedication are vital to the smooth operation of our organization. Unfortunately, serving on a jury for an extended period would create severe financial strain for me and my family. Considering my essential role within the company and the potential adverse impact on my financial stability, I kindly ask for your assistance in seeking my release from jury duty. I would like to outline the reasons why this situation poses an undue financial burden on me: 1. Loss of Income: Serving on a jury would require me to take an unpaid leave of absence from work during that period. This would result in a significant reduction in my income and hinder my ability to meet financial obligations, such as mortgage/rent payments, utilities, and other essential monthly expenses. 2. Limited Vacation/Sick Leave: Due to unforeseen circumstances earlier this year, I have already depleted my vacation and sick leave days, leaving me with a meager amount of paid time off that needs to be preserved for unforeseen emergencies or personal matters. 3. Inability to Secure Alternative Income: Finding temporary employment or part-time work to compensate for the loss of income during my absence is challenging in the current economic climate. Additionally, my current role at [Company Name] requires a specific set of skills and knowledge that makes securing a temporary position difficult. I understand that it is within the court's discretion to grant exemptions from jury duty, often based on compelling circumstances such as financial hardship. Should you support my request, I would be grateful if you could provide an official letter addressed to the appropriate court officials or summoning body outlining my situation and requesting my release from jury duty. You're understanding and support in this matter are crucial to both my financial well-being and my continued commitment to [Company Name]. I assure you that upon my return to work, I will make every effort to make up for any lost time and ensure a smooth transition for any pending projects or assignments. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information or documentation to support my request. I sincerely hope for a favorable response from both you and the court. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
