This legislation, titled the "Time Off to Vote Act," requires employers to provide employees with a minimum of two consecutive hours of paid leave on a Federal election day. This leave is specifically for voting, returning a mail-in ballot, or performing other voting-related activities. Employers retain the right to specify the exact hours an employee may take this leave, potentially directing them to use it during an early voting period if applicable under state law. The bill ensures that employees taking this leave will not lose any accrued employment benefits and are protected from employer interference or retaliation for exercising their right to vote. Employers with 25 or more employees are covered under this Act. The Secretary of Labor is granted investigative authority, and non-compliant employers may face civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation , with considerations for business size and good faith. This Act does not supersede any existing state or local laws that offer more generous voting leave provisions.
