That was my point. I thought MR. KIA was saying not paying his was unlawful.
See, the whole "not being paid for time off" is where I was struggling to figure out whether that was disciplinary or not, as I'm told that the company's policy for jury duty uses paid vacation on top of any pre-existing vacation time, i.e. vacation time is added solely for the jury duty, so I would have thought that being subpoenaed for witness duty (even when I'm going to be the worst "witness" imaginable) would fall under the same policy. They've said if it was jury duty they'd be giving me the paid leave, but as it isn't technically jury duty, they won't be, and that I will have to make up the time that I miss, i.e. work an extra 8 hours that week.
Many states make a distinction between jury duty and being a witness in court when it comes to pay for the day. This is not an unlawful distinction.
