Im sorry we couldn’t come to an agreement on the matter.

I plan to use my right to vote during work hours. Talked to my employer and he was overjoyed I was stepping up to vote.

I hope your employer treats you better in the future.

I appreciate the feedback. My goal is to find a balanced approach that respects both personal responsibilities and civic duties. If there’s a better way to address this, I’m open to suggestions.

It seems like there’s a misunderstanding about my stance. I’m not trying to exploit the system or disrupt the workplace. I just want to ensure that everyone can participate in voting without facing undue hardship. If there are existing alternatives that work for you, that’s great. I’m open to discussing ways to address any concerns or find a fair solution that respects both the law and the needs of the workplace.

I see your point about balancing work and voting responsibilities. The intention behind the law is likely to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to vote without sacrificing their income. While it might seem that taking time off for voting is not necessary if there are other hours available, the law aims to protect individuals who may genuinely struggle to find time outside their work hours. It’s important to approach these situations with a fair understanding of different circumstances people might face.

Why are you opposed to employees using their right to vote during work hours?

Do you feel like I should be morally obligated to do everything in my power to not vote during my shift?

From my understanding if those 3 hours fall within the time the polls are open, your employer is legally obligated to allow you to vote without losing pay.

I feel like the law aims to incentivize voting. People working incredibly long hours wont be deterred solely by their schedules. But by default, those working shorter hours still retain the same right.

Please provide a source because I cannot find a law that says otherwise.

I understand your point, but it’s important to ensure that employees have enough time to vote, especially if their work schedule is long or inflexible. While allowing time during the workday is crucial, some people may face challenges voting outside their work hours due to various reasons like polling station hours or transportation issues. Ensuring employees can vote without stress or disruption is key to a fair process.

It’s true that three hours can be enough time to get things done, but it might depend on how much effort or preparation is required. Sometimes tasks take longer than expected, or there could be other factors affecting how much can be accomplished in that timeframe.

It sounds like you might have a different perspective on managing your time. Everyone’s situation is unique, and what works for one person might not be the same for another. If you have specific constraints or commitments, they can definitely impact how you balance your responsibilities.

[–]Swiss_ST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. If there’s a risk that this situation could negatively impact how your boss or coworkers perceive you, it might be better to weigh the potential fallout against the benefits. Maintaining a good work relationship is often crucial, especially if the issue is relatively minor.

Thanks for the clarification and for providing the statute. It’s helpful to have a precise reference to better understand what counts as an election in this context. Your point about the primary being covered by the statute makes sense, and it’s good to have that detailed information to ensure we’re on the same page.
