Sample Letter for Employer Requesting Employee's Jury Duty Release [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Current Date] [Employer's Name] [Employer's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for Employee's Jury Duty Release Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that one of our valued employees, [Employee's Name], has been summoned for jury duty in [City/County], [State]. As you are aware, serving on a jury is an important civic duty that is vital for upholding our justice system. As an employer, I understand the potential disruption that jury duty can have on the regular business operations. However, I believe it is our responsibility to support our employees in fulfilling their civic obligations. Therefore, I kindly request your assistance in releasing [Employee's Name] from their work responsibilities during the period of their jury service, which is scheduled to commence on [Start Date] and expected to last for approximately [Duration]. [Employee's Name] is an integral member of our team and their absence will be felt in their usual role. To minimize the impact on our operations, we have developed a plan to redistribute their workload among other team members while they are fulfilling their jury duty responsibilities. This will ensure that all tasks and projects continue to receive appropriate attention and are completed on time. I understand that there might be concerns regarding schedule conflicts or undue burden on the company due to this temporary absence. In consideration of these concerns, I recommend exploring the following options to mitigate any potential challenges: 1. Requesting a Deferral: If the scheduled jury duty dates pose significant hardship for our business operations, I kindly request your support in exploring the possibility of deferring [Employee's Name]'s jury duty service to a more suitable time. This would allow us to manage our workflow more effectively while still honoring their civic duty. 2. Scheduling Around Critical Projects: If there are any critical projects or deadlines coinciding with the jury duty period, I would be grateful if we could discuss potential adjustments to minimize any adverse effects. By collaborating on scheduling or resource allocation, we can ensure that both our business needs and [Employee's Name]'s obligation to serve on the jury are addressed. 3. Temporary Replacement or Arrangement: In the event that [Employee's Name]'s presence is absolutely essential during the jury duty period (e.g., due to critical client meetings or specialized knowledge), we could explore the possibility of arranging a temporary replacement or hiring a contractor to bridge the gap while they are serving on the jury. I would be more than willing to schedule a meeting to discuss these options further and address any questions or concerns you may have. Please let me know your preferred date and time, and I will make myself available accordingly. Thank you for your understanding and support in accommodating [Employee's Name]'s jury duty responsibilities. By playing our part in upholding our justice system, we not only fulfill our civic duty but also contribute to fostering a fair and just society. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to discussing it further. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Position] [Company Name]
