Voting Leave Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (MA)


Summary

This template is a Voting Leave Policy (with Acknowledgment) (MA) that governs employees' entitlement to take leave from work to vote. It is intended for private employers. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. No federal law requires employers to provide voting leave. The template's language has been customized to comply with Massachusetts law. As a result, the text of this template differs from the non-jurisdictional Voting Leave Policy (with Acknowledgment). The drafting notes and alternate clause address issues under Massachusetts law. Local laws may require the employer to offer additional voting leave to employees. Therefore, you should check local laws for any voting leave requirements. For a full listing of key content covering leaves for employees, see Leaves for Employees Resource Kit.
