First priority on day of election, vote or work?

Hello, pl go thru the following attachment.

Your problem is not legal but  a practical one. You should convince your superiors humbly and seek an appology even tough you committed no  legal wrong.

As Mr. Tripati ji advised, its better not to argue with your superiors that the vote is important and your legal right to vote and your right for holiday on the day of voting...... etc etc - for the sake of your future career. Inspite of that, should the company proceed against you - you can expose the company to legal reprimand and consequential penalities. 

As usual Ms. Suchitra is resourceful.  Thank her for the enlightment.

It was election day,and also a  Sunday i.e a holiday.

During the busy season you are expected to work on weekends. Probably to meet the deadlines.

Otherwise you have a 5days a week shedule which is better than 6 days a week shedule, and in both cases salary is monthly.

You should neither and never initiate heated arguement and should never prolong a discussion.

The escalation is due to the heated arguements.

Patch up with your immediate reporting authority , Project Manager etc.....Seek apology.Avoid penultimate action.

In current market scenario, such incidences are recorded as disobedience and are considered intolerable.Your superiors may not take an immediate action, but may take an action on issues where they are legally strong.

However still if your company proceeds against you, expose them.
