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 grant a parent, guardian or custodian 4 hours of unpaid leave per school year for each enrolled child, in increments of at least 1 hour, at a time mutually agreed with the employer. Parallel sections cover children in public school (NRS 392.4577) and private school (NRS 394.179). The employer may require a written request 5 school days in advance and documentation afterward.

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.
