Employees who have to work this Sunday have the right to vote during their working hours!

The OGBL would like to remind you that civic rights and duties, including the right to vote, are part of the exemptions from work that all employees must enjoy with full pay, in accordance with article L. 233-11 of the Labor Code.

All employees who work on Sunday, October 8, 2023, and who wish to vote in the legislative elections during the opening hours of the polling stations (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.) are therefore entitled to do so during their working hours, without being penalized in any way.

However, for reasons of work organization, the OGBL advises workers to discuss this exemption from work with their employers in advance.

Finally, the OGBL invites any employee who encounters obstacles in exercising this right to send an e-mail to the following address: contact.ogbl.lu.
