- Category: Election Laws
- Date:
- State: Kentucky
Answer:
Kentucky law allows employees to take up to four hours of unpaid time off to vote. Employers must provide a reasonable amount of leave, but it cannot be less than four hours. Employees must notify their employers before Election Day, and employers can determine the specific time off granted. If an employee takes time off to vote but does not cast a vote, the employer may discipline them (Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann Section 118.035; Ky. Const. Section 148).
