Mandatory paid leave for private sector employees to vote tomorrow
All private-sector companies are required to provide employees with leave to vote in the 2024 General Election, scheduled for tomorrow.
This mandate was communicated through a circular from the Ministry of Justice, Public Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils, Local Government, and Labour. According to the circular, private companies must grant paid special leave to employees who submit a written request to vote.
The duration of leave is to be determined based on the distance employees need to travel to reach their polling stations.
If the travel distance is 40 kilometers or less, employees are to be granted a minimum of half a day off. For distances between 40 and 100 kilometers, a full day’s leave is recommended.
Employees traveling between 100 and 150 kilometers should receive one and a half days, while those with distances exceeding 150 kilometers are to be granted up to two days.
Companies are cautioned that non-compliance with these regulations will lead to legal action.
The 2024 Parliamentary Election will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. tomorrow (14).
