Provides employees with 2 hours of paid leave to vote in federal elections.
The Time Off to Vote Act mandates that employers provide employees with a minimum of 2 consecutive hours of paid leave on federal election days to vote, return mail-in ballots, or perform other voting-related activities. Employers may specify the 2-hour period, excluding lunch breaks, but must allow the leave to be taken consecutively. The leave must be provided while polls or voting sites are open. The act prohibits employers from interfering with or discriminating against employees for exercising their voting rights.
