PTO to vote

November 8 will be a paid holiday for workers at General Motors (GM), Ford Motor Company, (F) Square (SQ), Hearst Publishing, Patagonia, mattress company Casper and digital media company Thrillist.

And there are hundreds more too. Kudos to them.

In the US, election day is not a federal nor a state holiday. I think it should be. The alternative would be to move it to the weekend.

But Kudos for these companies taking the initiative and helping their employees vote.

The company I work for doesn't, but then we don't get a lot of holidays anyway. Anyone else's company close up on election day or are allowed to leave work to vote without being docked pay?
