Voting leave & Paws to the Polls

Reminder of Voting Leave policy:

7.12 Voting leave

If a full-time employee is eligible to vote in any local, state, or national election in the state of Missouri, the employee will normally be able to vote before or after work. If an employee does not have three successive hours between the opening and closing of the polls on election day when he/she is not scheduled to work, the employee will be excused from work with pay for up to three consecutive hours between the time of opening and the time of closing the polls for the purpose of voting. If the employee plans to take time off for voting, arrangements must be made with the supervisor prior to election day, and the university may specify any three hours between the time of opening and closing of the polls during which the employee may be absent to vote.
