public duties (UK); civic duties (US)


Explanation:
public duties in UK English
civic duties in US English

Example sentence(s):
  • Employees can get time off work for certain public duties as well as their normal holiday entitlement. Employers can choose to pay them for this time, but they don’t have to.
  • If your employer is pressuring you or threatening you for wanting to take time off to perform a civic duty, you may want to check what your state laws are.
