Policy
|
In accordance with statutory provisions, UTMB provides all employees with sufficient time off, without a deduction in salary or accrued leave, to vote in each national, state, or local election. This time is reported as time worked. Advance notice shall be given to the supervisor in order to ensure that proper coverage can be maintained.
Whenever possible, employees are expected to vote before or after normal working hours on an official election day (any day the polls are open for federal, state, or local government elections) or by absentee ballot prior to the election day. If it is not possible for an employee to vote during off hours, supervisors are authorized to grant a reasonable period of time off during working hours.
