     204B.195 Time off from work to serve as election judge. 

    An individual who is selected to serve as an election judge 
 pursuant to section 204B.21, subdivision 2 may, after giving an 
 employer at least 20 days' written notice, be absent from a 
 place of work for the purpose of serving as an election judge 
 without penalty.  An employer may reduce the salary or wages of 
 an employee serving as an election judge by the amount paid to 
 the election judge by the appointing authority during the time 
 the employee was absent from the place of employment.  

    The written request to be absent from work must be 
 accompanied by a certification from the appointing authority 
 stating the hourly compensation to be paid the employee for 
 service as an election judge and the hours during which the 
 employee will serve.  An employer may restrict the number of 
 persons to be absent from work for the purpose of serving as an 
 election judge to no more than 20 percent of the total work 
 force at any single worksite.
