This is a reminder of the NYS Election Law regarding time off to vote.

Required New York State Election Law Posting - Section 3-110:

• “If you do not have 4 consecutive hours to vote, either from the opening of the polls to the beginning of your working shift, or between the end of your working shift and the closing of the polls, you may take off up to 2 hours, without loss of pay, to allow you time to vote if you are a registered voter.”

  Please note:  All Rensselaer employees registered to vote are granted up to 3 hours, without loss of pay, to allow you time to vote.

• “You may take time off at the beginning or end of your working shift, as your employer may designate, unless otherwise mutually agreed.”
