On June 26, Toronto will vote for its new mayor in a municipal by-election. Polling stations will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day. Pursuant to Ontario’s Municipal Elections Act, employees who are eligible voters may be entitled to time off work to vote.
Eligible voters. An eligible voter is any Canadian citizen who is over 18 years of age, is not prohibited from voting under any law, and fulfills the necessary City of Toronto residency requirements.
The three-hour rule. Employees who are eligible voters are entitled to three consecutive hours free from work to vote while polling stations are open. Employers must facilitate this time off, but may schedule the absence to suit their convenience. For example:
No pay deduction or penalties. Time off for voting must be provided without any deduction to an employee’s pay or any other penalty. In other words, employees must receive the same wages they would have received had they worked their full scheduled hours.
Penalty for non-compliance. Employers who fail to comply with the Municipal Elections Act may face fines of up to $50,000.
