NEW YORK: In a concerted effort to promote civic engagement, major U.S. banks including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citigroup are reminding employees of their right to take paid time off to vote in Tuesday’s presidential election. This initiative highlights the importance of participation in the democratic process across political lines.
JPMorgan executives, led by CEO Jamie Dimon, emphasized in a recent memo the historical significance of American democracy, noting, “We will continue to work across the political spectrum.” Citigroup offers U.S. employees three hours of paid leave to vote, while Bank of America has maintained similar policies since 2020, reinforcing the commitment to ensuring all employees have the opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
