Brown's Paid Time Off Policy - which covers paid time off for jury duty, bereavement or military leave - is outlined in full on the Brown Policy website.
Jury Duty
All staff employees can request time off for jury duty. An employee who serves jury duty will receive full pay and benefits for the duration of jury duty. It is expected that employees will report to work when jury duty is not required for a full workday.
Bereavement
All staff employees can request up to three working days (twenty two and a half hours) with pay for the death of a parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, son or daughter-in-law, spouse, domestic partner, grandchild, grandparent, grandparent-in-law1, mother-in-law1, father-in-law1 and sibling1. Up to one day (seven and a half hours) of paid bereavement time can be taken to attend a funeral or memorial service of relatives not listed above.
1These relations include spouse or domestic partner.
Pay for Military Reserve Duty or Training
United States military reservists or members of the National Guard are permitted to spend up to ten working days (two weeks) per calendar year away from their position at Brown to assist with a national, state or local emergency, or for military training duty. Employees must return to work on the first workday after completion of duty, allowing for reasonable travel and rest time. During the time staff members are on military reserve duty, they continue to receive their full pay and benefits but must remit compensation received for military duty (excluding payments for room and board) to Brown University.
