Answer Preview 

The different forms of leave statutes do vary from each other in the necessity and requirements. The jury duty leave, for instance, is wholly related to legal matters and can be taken by an individual who is not on an active personal or medical leave while the FMLA is wholly based on leave away from work. The duration of the FMLA varies from 12 workweeks to 26 work weeks for those taking the leave on behalf of a member of the military (Doyle, 2020). On the other hand, jury duty leave takes a shorter period ranging from a few days to weeks (Rassas, 2020). Certain states require employers to pay the employee on jury duty for some days before the court system takes over the payments while in the FMLA, leave benefits are wholly based on agreements between the employees and their employers.
