Bill > AB388

This bill revises provisions relating to employment by establishing comprehensive paid family leave requirements for both public and private employers in Nevada. The bill expands existing family leave policies to cover state employees and private employers with 50 or more employees, allowing eligible workers to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave for various purposes including bonding with a new child, caring for a seriously ill family member, recovering from a serious health condition, addressing military deployment-related needs, and taking "safe leave" for situations involving domestic violence or sexual assault. The leave can be taken intermittently over a 12-month period and will be compensated at 100% of regular wages for employees earning up to 110% of the state average weekly wage, and 60% for those earning more. Employers must establish clear procedures for requesting leave, provide written notice to employees about their rights, and are prohibited from retaliating against employees who use this leave. The bill also includes provisions for confidentiality of documentation, allows employees to sue for violations, and empowers the Labor Commissioner to enforce these regulations. The new provisions will become fully effective on January 1, 2028, giving employers time to prepare for implementation.
