b'into work the next day, unsure if she still has a job. Phil tells her it was just a joke and tells her to report for work that morning. Has the supervisor violated the law? There is a fine line here. Mary Jane has not been subjected to any penalty, but she has been intimidated by her supervisor. An employer may not threaten the loss of wages or another benefit of employment in retaliation for voting a particular way. It may not get very far, but Mary Jane has a claim and the company will be on the hook for the legal fees to fight it.Do it on your own time: Betsy is scheduled to arrive for her shift at 9:00 a.m. She says that, given the morning traffic, there is no way she can vote and be on time. Traffic doesnt matter for poor Betsy. As long as the polls are open for two consecutive hours when Betsy is not scheduled to be at work, she doesnt get the time. Texas polling locations are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.What Should I Do:Good:Encourageyouremployeestoexercisetheir Constitutionalrighttovote.Warnmanagersandother supervisorypersonnelthattheycannotrestrictany employees ability to vote, nor can they intimidate or harass the employee for voting for a particular party or candidate or failing to reveal for whom the employee voted.Better: Create a written policy that clearly spells out what will happen when an employee needs time off to vote. Cover when the employee needs to notify you, the time you will pay for an employee to be out, if any, and how you will deal with requiring proof Best: Good and Better get it done for this section.78'
