Employees may receive their normal daily salary when testifying in court in connection with and as a result of performance of their regular duties as a County employee and public officer, provided their salary shall be reduced by any compensation they receive for being a witness unless the employee promptly remits the same to the County. Reimbursement to the employee for travel, lodging, food or other actual expenses will not be considered compensation for being a witness, but reimbursement.

Employees must notify their department director in advance and receive approval to attend.
