Primary Election 2008 - Time off for Voting
The 2008 Primary Election is scheduled for Tuesday, March 4th from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. All employees should take advantage of extended hour voting opportunities to avoid long lines.
When it is not possible for an employee to vote before or after normal working hours, supervisors may grant employees a reasonable period of time off for voting during business hours. Employees should be currently registered voters in order to qualify for the time off. Time off for voting should be requested in advance and approved by the supervisor. Employees granted time off should record this time as “O – Other” on their individual time sheets. No reduction in vacation allowance or salary will be made for the time taken to vote as long as supervisory approval is obtained. Leave administrators with questions on how to document this time on DEFINE should contact Ms. Rose Cabello at 458-6647.
