Nevada leave law overview

Nevada has its own family and medical leave law that covers employers with 50 or more employees, mirroring the federal FMLA. Nevada does not have a state paid family leave program.

Nevada's state FMLA mirrors the federal law in coverage and protections. Nevada workers should look for proposed paid leave legislation that has been discussed in recent legislative sessions.

Federal FMLA in Nevada

All Nevada workers at employers with 50 or more employees within 75 miles are also covered by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (29 U.S.C. 2601). Federal FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for a qualifying serious health condition, to care for a family member, or to bond with a new child. You must have worked for your employer for at least 12 months and at least 1,250 hours in the past year to be eligible.

Governing law

Nevada leave law is governed by Nevada Revised Statutes NRS 613.335 (NRS § 613.335). The official authority for Nevada family and medical leave is the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner.

Data source: NRS § 613.335 and federal FMLA 29 U.S.C. 2601. Last verified: 2026. Leave laws can change - verify current protections with the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner.

Frequently asked questions - FMLA 2026

Who qualifies for FMLA leave?
To qualify for federal FMLA leave you must: (1) work for a covered employer - a private employer with 50 or more employees, or any public agency or school; (2) have worked for that employer for at least 12 months; (3) have worked at least 1,250 hours in the past 12 months; and (4) work at a location where the employer has 50 or more employees within 75 miles.
How many weeks of FMLA leave am I entitled to?
Eligible employees are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for qualifying reasons. Military caregiver leave allows up to 26 weeks. FMLA leave can be taken all at once or intermittently. The 12-week entitlement resets based on your employer's chosen 12-month calculation method.
Is FMLA leave paid?
Federal FMLA leave is unpaid. However, your employer may require or allow you to use accrued paid leave (vacation, sick time, PTO) concurrently with FMLA. Additionally, 13 states and Washington D.C. have their own paid family and medical leave programs that provide partial wage replacement during leave. Check the state table above to see if your state has a paid program.
Can my employer deny my FMLA leave?
If you meet all eligibility requirements and have a qualifying reason, your employer cannot legally deny FMLA leave. However, they can require you to provide medical certification, give advance notice when foreseeable, and use accrued paid leave concurrently. If your employer denies a legitimate FMLA request, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division.
What happens to my health insurance during FMLA?
Your employer must maintain your group health insurance coverage during FMLA leave under the same terms as if you continued working. You must still pay your portion of the premiums. If you do not return to work after FMLA leave, your employer may recover the health insurance premiums they paid during your leave, with some exceptions.
