Tomorrow is Election Day. Employers should be clear on state law requirements that provide employees with time off to vote, as well as any existing policies in place on voting leave. Although some states have no requirements, others require employers to provide employees with time off to vote and impose civil and/or criminal penalties for non-compliance. In Maryland, every employer must permit employees who claim to be registered voters to be absent from work for up to two (2) hours on Election Day to vote if the employee otherwise does not have two consecutive non-working hours to vote while the polls are open. Employees must be paid for up to two (2) hours of absence. Employees seeking voting pay must provide proof of voting on a form approved by the State Board of Elections.
