Workers Entitled to Paid Leave on November 28th Election Day
Posted on 2026-11-13 18:27:13
The Ministry of Labor is reminding employers that workers eligible to vote in the November 28th local elections are entitled to a paid day off if they would normally be working that day.
The same rules apply to the nationwide referendum being held on election day.
Employers who ask eligible staff to work must obtain their consent, allow them time to vote and pay double wages for the hours worked.
However, workers whose regular day off or scheduled rest day falls on November 28th will not receive an additional day off.
The ministry says election day leave cannot be exchanged for another working day.
Workers who believe their employers have violated the rules can file complaints with local labor authorities or call the 1-9-5-5 hotline.
