As the November 5 election approaches, Human Resources has some guidance and resources for employees and supervisors.

• The Department of Human Resources strongly encourages managers and supervisors to provide flexibility in scheduling and granting leave for employees who may need to vote on Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
• How and where to vote
• Most polling stations are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and employees are encouraged to vote before or after scheduled work hours or participate via mail-in ballot. If employees have not chosen to vote by mail-in ballot or voted early, we recommend that they talk to their supervisor before Election Day to understand how to schedule time to vote.
• As a reminder, Colorado State Board Rules assert that classified employees must be granted when they do not have three hours of unscheduled work time during voting hours. These three hours do not have to be consecutive (e.g. employees who work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. are not automatically eligible for this leave because they may vote between 7-8 a.m. or 5-7 p.m.).
• Both university staff and classified employees may also use vacation time to vote if they need to do so during work hours.

Also, thank you to everyone who completed the ÌýHR Practitioner Experience Survey. We received over 300 responses, and the results will be disseminated in November.Ìý
