An April 2019 revision to New York's election law gives workers in the state up to three hours of paid time off to vote. Under the new law, an employee who is registered to vote and is schedule to work on an election day may, without loss of pay for up to three hours, take time off from their working hours to enable them to vote. The employee must notify their supervisor not less than two working days before the day of the election if they require time off to vote. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon between the employee and the supervisor, the supervisor will approve the requested time off to vote at either the beginning or end of the working shift. The full policy can be found in Volume 3.9.15.1.6 of the Ithaca College Policy Manual. We ask that supervisors share this message with employees who do not have regular access to email. |
