CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES MUST RECEIVE TIME OFF TO VOTE
California law requires that your employer give you time off to vote in the upcoming election if you do not have time to vote outside of your normal work schedule. The law provides for up to two hours of paid leave for the purposes of voting. Some employers may require that you tell them in advance that you need to take time off to vote. If your employer is not letting you take time off to vote, an experienced employment lawyer can help.
In California, your employer must follow certain guidelines under the “Time off to Vote” provision. This includes a 10 day notice before the election which details the provisions for taking paid leave for the purpose of voting.
Remember, it is your right to vote. CA law says you can take as much time as you need to vote, but only 2 hours will be paid.
