Document background
A Jury Duty Work Excuse Letter, while commonly used in many jurisdictions, takes a different form in Singapore due to the absence of a jury system since 1970. In Singapore's context, this document serves as a formal request from an employer to the courts seeking to excuse or defer an employee's court attendance. The letter typically includes the employee's details, their role's criticality to business operations, specific dates of court summons, and detailed justification for the excuse request. It's used when an employee's presence at work is deemed essential during the scheduled court date, and the business would face significant hardship in their absence.
