In many states, legislation mandates that employers must grant their employees time off to participate in elections. In these locations, employers cannot punish workers for taking voting leave, although some states may require prior notification for the leave to be protected. State regulations differ regarding the length of the time off, the specific requirements that must be fulfilled, whether the leave must be compensated and the notice employees are obligated to provide.
