Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship
Dear [Supervisor's Name], I am writing this letter to formally request to be excused from jury duty in the Allegheny Pennsylvania court due to financial hardship. Serving on a jury for an extended period would impose a significant financial burden on me, making it difficult for me to cover my essential living expenses and fulfill my responsibilities as an employee. As you are aware, Allegheny Pennsylvania is a county located in the southwestern part of the state. It is well-known for its vibrant city of Pittsburgh, which serves as the county seat. Being the second-most populous county in Pennsylvania, Allegheny plays a vital role in the region's economic, cultural, and educational development. While I understand the importance and civic duty associated with jury service, my current financial circumstances make it almost impossible for me to undertake this duty without facing severe financial distress. My monthly income is crucial for meeting my financial obligations, including rent, utility bills, and other essential expenses. Moreover, any prolonged absence from work would disrupt my workflow and potentially affect the smooth functioning of our team. Considering the financial hardship that I am currently facing, I kindly request your support in pleading my case to the court, highlighting the exceptional circumstances that prevent me from serving as a juror. I believe it is within the court's discretion to excuse me from jury duty based on my financial struggles. I am more than willing to provide any necessary documentation to support my request, such as recent pay stubs, rent statements, or any other evidence of financial hardship. Additionally, I am open to alternative forms of civic participation that would align more favorably with my current situation, such as community service or volunteering. I assure you that, if approved for release from jury duty, I will continue to carry out my responsibilities as an employee diligently and efficiently. My commitment to my job and teamwork remains unwavering, and I will make every effort to ensure minimal disruption during my absence from work, if granted. Thank you for considering my request and for your understanding of the challenges I currently face. I sincerely hope that you will support my plea and advocate for my release from jury duty due to financial hardship. If you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to let me know.
