If desired, employees may use any portion of their PTO while on unpaid jury duty leave.

You are allowed unpaid time off if summoned to appear in court as a witness. This benefit is offered to all employees.

If you need to take time off for jury duty or witness duty leave, you must submit to E3 Human Resources a copy of
the summons as soon as it is received. In addition, you must also submit to your E3 Manager a related proof of
service when the period of jury or witness duty is completed. No adverse employment action will be taken against
you due to your service as either a juror or witness in state or federal courts.

5.1.5 Bereavement Leave
As part of the E3 benefits package, all regular full-time employees receive this benefit. Employees who are not
actively working or are on a Leave of Absence (LOA) are not eligiblefor this benefit.

When a death occurs in your immediate family you may take up to three (3) days off with pay to attend the funeral
or make funeral arrangements. Immediate family members are defined as an employee’s spouse, domestic partner,
children, stepchildren, parents, stepparents, or sibling.

For non-immediate family members, employees may take up to one (1) day off with pay to attend the funeral of a
grandparent, aunt, uncle, in-law, niece, nephew, grandchild, or any person residing in the employee’s household.
This time off will be considered by your E3 Manager on a case-by-case basis.

Where applicable, bereavement leave runs concurrently with FMLA and other state/local family leave.
