Brandon Aubrey has jury duty


Recommended Posts

just have Aubrey kick the defendant in the nuts and lets go. Used Reichert when Aubrey was on bye and dropped him for another pickup this morning. It's like Aubrey kicked me in the nuts.

Maybe I haven't paid attn before but I can't remember a nfl player missing a game for jury duty 

I would think a judge would allow a deferral to the off season.

Harris reports that the Cowboys tried to get Aubrey out of his jury duty obligations, but the kicker insisted on making it to court. Aubrey is expected to also miss practice on Thursday and Friday, but Harris reports the judge is expected to work around his football schedule for the remainder of the case.

We switched to a team kicker position this year. Gets rid of some headaches.

Yep he'll be ready to kick. A couple of recent tweets. The only real headache would be if he had to travel for a game out of the US.  Or a game at a far away location on a week day, but then judge said they'd work around that.

Mike McCarthy said Brandon Aubrey will get his kicking in after his jury duties are over for the day. He will not miss the game and the Cowboys charter will return early Monday morning if the case Aubrey is serving continues into next week.

Mike McCarthy said he expects Brandon Aubrey to be ready for the 49ers game. “We have a plan to make sure he’ll be ready.”

I think we got rid of it last year or two years ago in my main league. I don't miss it. If you like some randomness thrown in maybe but there is almost zero skill

Things changed a year ago and it was determined that most juries are not made up of true peers.  All of a sudden a lot of docs, myself included, started getting summons. If I was employed, I'd be all for it. The employer has to pay the time away.  My allergy nurse was on a grand jury every Wednesday for a year and got a full days pay 50 times without coming to work.  But I'm in a solo practice and I cover trauma call 28 days/month.  I submitted that and they released me. 

For him, if a game is on a Monday or a Friday, I'd question if he kicks that night.  He gets paid regardless.

This is not true.

https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/benefits-leave/juryduty

"The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require payment for time not worked, including jury duty. This type of benefit is generally a matter of agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee's representative)."

For example, my company allows up to 10 days of jury duty pay, but that is not the norm.

I've lived in the same city for 35 years, same state/region for over 40, most of that time I was a registered voter. I've received a jury duty notice 3 times, the last one about a year ago, I got out of due to a conflict with a planned vacation (didn't get another after that).  Not sure how that compares to others, or what changes have or will go on that have more people getting asked to serve.

I see what you quoted but it doesn't align with the summons below.  And when our employee was on jury duty we absolutely had to pay her.

Like many laws it probably varies from state to state. I just looked now, quick search said not required in Ohio, but is required in TN. Of course when I served my employer did pay me, pretty sure it is covered in our policy manual. 

https://workforce.com/news/jury-duty-laws-by-state

Only 10 states require it, so I'd say its fair to say that "in general it is not required", one is TN. Two biggest are NY and FL (only Broward and Dade counties). And 18 states prohibit an employer from being "required" to pay, that includes Ohio. 

Also in that link, some states allow employers to force employees to use PTO for jury duty, TN is one of them. Several that require the employer to pay also allow them to force employees to use PTO. Not sure how that works, would they pay me double or am I just sacrificing all my PTO first so they don't really have to pay me?

Thanks for the leg work, learned something. That absolutely sucks for TN employees if they get forced to use PTO. That is definitely not supporting the idea of doing our civic duty

They replaced Greg's dead leg with a peg leg.  He'll be on IR for a few weeks then the Jets can trade hm to the Buccaneers.  

"aaargh..... ahoy there matey!"
