TIME OFF FOR VOTING
Policy
When it is not possible for an employee to vote before or after normal
working hours on a national, state or local election day, supervisors are
authorized to grant a reasonable period of time off for voting. All
employees are eligible for time off to vote.
Employees should be currently registered voters in order to use this
leave. Employees are encouraged to take advantage of early voting
periods that have extended voting hours.
Procedures
Time off should be requested in advance and approved by the
supervisor, when it is not possible for an employee to vote before or
after regular work hours.
No reduction in vacation allowance or salary will be made for the time
taken to vote as long as supervisory approval is obtained.
