N.M. Stat. § 38-5-18
Employer prohibited from penalizing employee for jury
service.
A. An employer shall not deprive an employee of employment or threaten or
otherwise coerce the employee because the employee receives a summons for jury
service, responds to the summons, serves as a juror or attends court for prospective
jury service.
B. An employer shall not require or request an employee to use annual, vacation or
sick leave for time spent responding to a summons for jury service, participating in the
jury selection process or serving on a jury. Nothing in this subsection requires an
employer to provide annual, vacation or sick leave to employees who are not otherwise
entitled to those benefits under company policies.
