November 5, 2024 National Election Day Scan here for Voting Resources https://ung.edu/voting Exercise Your Right to VOTE! Wear Red, White, & Blue UNG encourages employees to exercise their right to vote in all federal, state, and local elections. USG’s updated policy complies with state law and allows employees the flexibility to request time off to vote. Please take a moment to review the most recent USG policy on voting leave here. Key Points from the Voting Leave policy Eligibility: Paid voting leave is available to all regular, fully benefited employees. Up to two (2) hours of paid leave may be granted for voting in municipal, county, state, or federal elections. Time Off Requests: Employees must provide reasonable notice to their supervisors and follow standard leave request procedures. Institutions may specify the hours during which voting leave may be taken to minimize operational disruption. Instructions on submitting an absence request for leave (including voting leave) can be found here. Additional Time: Employees may use annual leave or compensatory time if more than two hours are needed. Voting leave is not cumulative; unused time does not carry over to future elections/years. Flexible Scheduling: For those employees not eligible for paid voting leave, institutions should offer flexible scheduling to ensure all employees can vote within the two-hour limit.
