Apple has sent a memo to all of its employees that the company will be giving paid time off on Election Day (Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020) in an effort to encourage voting and/or volunteering at a voting place.

The memo (seen by Bloomberg News) says in part:

For retail team members and hourly workers across the company, if you’re scheduled to work this Election Day, we’ll be providing up to four hours of paid time off if you need it to get to the polls. If they choose, our teams can also use this time to volunteer as an election worker at one of your local polling stations. — Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of retail and people.
