Paid Military Leave for Public Employees in Nevada

By CAPT Samuel F. Wright, JAGC, USN (Ret.)

Nevada law provides as follows concerning paid military leave for employees of the state and its political subdivisions:

"Any public officer or employee of the State or any agency thereof, or of a political subdivision or an agency of a political subdivision, who is an active member of the United States Army Reserve, the United States Naval Reserve, the United States Marine Corps Reserve, the United States Coast Guard Reserve, the United States Air Force Reserve, or the Nevada National Guard must be relieved from the officer's or employee's duties, upon the officer's or employee's request, to serve under orders without loss of his regular compensation for a period of not more than 15 working days in any 1 calendar year. No such absence may be a part of the employee's annual vacation provided for by law." (Nevada Revised Statutes, section 281.145.)
