Nevada's Other Job-Protected Leaves

An employer may not terminate, threaten, or intimidate an employee for serving as a juror, and generally may not require the employee to use accrued leave for jury service. Penalties (including potential criminal liability) attach to violations.

If an employee does not have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote, the employer must allow paid time off to vote, with the amount keyed to the distance between the workplace and the polling place.

Employers with 50 or more employees must allow eligible employees a limited amount of leave to participate in school-related activities for their children.

The federal USERRA protects employees who serve in the uniformed services — job protection, reinstatement, and continuation rights — and applies to Nevada employers as the federal floor.
