The University of Texas at Tyler Employee Handbook

VOTING ABSENCE

When it is not possible for any employee to exercise his/her voting privilege before or after regular working hours on an official election day, supervisors may verbally authorize a reasonable period of time for voting during that employee’s working hours. This period should be reported as time worked, with no reduction in vacation allowance or salary.

For more information consult the: Time Off for Voting Policy, 8.055.
