Action Line: Jury duty Published July 17, 2009 By 72nd Air Base Wing TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Q: Recently I received a notice that I would need to supply court documentation of my jury duty. Normally this would not be an issue, but the jury duty date was from 2005. This is untimely at best. Most court clerks only keep records on jury duty summons for a two year period (according to the Oklahoma County court clerk). According to the court clerk I spoke with, they have been receiving a ton of calls from Tinker personnel requesting their records, creating a backlog and keeping them from performing other duties. Is there a limit on the amount of time finance can request this information? Is there a way to ensure that this information is sent out in a timely fashion? A:When members perform jury duty they are required to turn in all fees received to the Financial Services Office. A report of all employees that performed jury duty was generated and notices were sent out to all employees that had not turned in the fees. The Financial Services Office acknowledges that, in some cases, the notices were untimely. Their goal is to give every employee an opportunity to turn in the fees prior to the office initiating payroll deduction. Their effort to reduce the volume of employees not turning in the fees was extremely successful. Subsequent notices are being sent within 30 days of the completion of jury duty. Any fees not turned in will be immediately collected through payroll deduction.
