My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California
For the recent election, I had to take time off to vote. California law says I can take up to 2 hours off without losing pay in order vote if I do not have sufficient time outside of work hours to do so. My employer claims that it is at their discretion if the employee has enough time or not to vote. They say that in my case I did have enough time, so denied paying me for that time.
1. Should this be reported to the labor board?
2. Is this actionable in any way?
