Support an employee's application for deferral of or excusal from jury service
Key points
Employees who have been summoned for jury service can apply to be excused or to have the service deferred in certain circumstances.
An employer cannot apply for excusal or deferral on the employee's behalf, but can write a letter supporting the employee's application, for example if their absence would cause difficulty to the organisation.
