Discharge of precinct official unlawful.
(a) No employer may discharge or demote any employee because the employee has been appointed as a precinct official and is serving as a precinct official on election day or canvass day.
(b) An employee discharged or demoted in violation of this section shall be entitled to be reinstated to that employee's former position. The burden of proof shall be upon the employee.
(c) The statute of limitations for actions under this section shall be one year pursuant to G.S. 1-54.
(d) This section does not apply unless the employee provides the employer with not less than 30 days written notice, before the date the leave is to begin, of the employee's intention to take leave to serve as a precinct official.
(e) As used in this section, "precinct official" has the same meaning as in G.S. 163-41(a). (2001-169, s. 1; 2017-6, s. 3; 2018-146, s. 3.1(a), (b).)
