Staff Handbook UK

21.Jury Service You are entitled to time off work to fulfil your obligations with regard to Jury Service. In the event of you being summoned to attend for Jury Service, you must notify your line manager immediately on receipt of the Jury Summons, giving details of the dates you are required to attend Court. If you are retained on Jury Service for a prolonged period, you have an obligation to notify the Company and must keep in regular contact throughout. You must return to normal working immediately following your release from Jury duties. You are reminded to ensure that an expenses claim is submitted to the Court in accordance with the available allowances for travelling, subsistence and your financial loss. You are not entitled to payment for this time off. 22.Public Duties You are entitled to reasonable time off during working hours to perform the duties associated with certain positions, such as Justices of the Peace, school governors, members of a local authority, statutory tribunal or police authority. You are not, however, entitled to payment for this time. If you are considering taking on any public duties you are advised to discuss this with your line manager. You would need to consider how frequently and what level of time off you would wish for. Your line manager would need to consider whether the proposed time off would be reasonable and what impact it would have on the effective running of the Company. 23.Staff Discount Scheme The Company runs a Staff Discount Scheme for employees who have successfully completed their probationary period. From time to time the Scheme is amended and the Company reserves the right to change it or withdraw it at any time without notice. Currently the Scheme provides 30% off wholesale prices for eligible staff members. The Scheme is intended to allow staff to buy Stormtech products for their own use and that of family and friends. Staff members are not allowed to sell goods on that they have purchased under this Scheme. Any abuse of the Scheme would result in disciplinary action and could result in dismissal.
