Who would be considered a “full time employee” in terms of being able to receive their salary or wages during jury service?
The courts have defined “full time” as the amount of time considered as the normal or standard amount of work time for a given period, such as a day, week, or month. In most employment situations, “full time” means 40 hours a week. Also, the phrase “full-time employee” may be defined by industry standards, in addition to the standards of that particular community. The Attorney General of Alabama has concluded that the phrase “full-time employee” includes an employee who is paid hourly wages as well as a salaried employee.
