Employee Voting Rights & State Laws

As the presidential election approaches, do you know if you are required to give employees time off to vote?

There are no federal laws requiring companies to give time off from work to vote, however a majority of states do have rules designed to ensure employees can make it to the polls on Election Day.

In Florida, there is no general law requiring time off for employees to vote. However, an employer may not discharge or threaten to discharge an employee for voting or not voting.
