AB179

Nevada AB179 revises employment laws to mandate paid leave for employees in private sector companies with 50 or more employees.

Nevada AB179 amends existing law to require private employers with 50 or more employees to provide paid leave to their workers. Employees are entitled to at least 0.01923 hours of paid leave for each hour worked. Employers must allow employees to use this leave starting on the 90th day of employment and for any reason, including medical treatment or preventative care. Employers cannot retaliate against employees for using this leave. The bill also allows employers to set a minimum increment of paid leave usage and limits the carryover of unused leave to 40 hours per benefit year.
