Request a BerniePortal demo today! https://offer.bernieportal.com/bernieportal-employer-demo-hrpo1/Unlike many other countries, the United States doesn’t have a national voting holiday. This means that because American elections take place during the week, employees who work day jobs must ask off, leave work early, or arrive to work late if they want to vote. In this episode, we discuss where the U.S. stands on a national voting holiday, employer requirements for employee voting, and other voting protections for employees in the workplace.
