A 6389 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to leave time for certain employees to volunteer as a poll worker

This bill allows public employees, including those in state agencies, school districts, and municipalities, to take paid time off to work as election poll workers. Under the new rules, eligible workers can request up to eight hours of leave per year for this purpose without it counting against their other vacation or sick days. The legislation also gives officials the authority to set specific guidelines for how employees must request and get approval for this time. Additionally, the bill ensures that these new provisions do not override any existing collective bargaining agreements or labor rights.
