Dcat Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) 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.

BillyBalata Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 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.

squirrelmastr21 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 He could absolutely attend jury duty during the week then kick on Sundays. Not exactly the same thing but I used to play soccer in high school, and be the kicker on Friday nights. You don’t need to practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 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. @toddarcher 12:21 pm ET 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. @calvinwatkins 12:17 pm ET 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.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 thanks for all the info. Now I can drop the Minnesota kid (good kicker so far) and he goes on waivers. No one gets him for tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we got rid of it last year or two years ago in my main league. I don't miss it.

1fastdoc Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when our employee was on jury duty we absolutely had to pay her. Edited October 25 by 1fastdoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
