Nev. employers must provide time to vote
By Adam Candee, Las Vegas Sun
Nevada law requires your employer to give you time to vote on Election Day, but be prepared to prove that the hours you work present your only chance to exercise the right.
A state law passed in 1960 mandates that employers provide between one and three paid hours of time off to employees for whom it is impractical to vote at any other time. The law, however, predates the beginning of early voting two decades ago. Given both Nevada’s two weeks of early voting and the fact the polls are open from 7am-7pm on Election Day, proving you could not vote outside your shift on Tuesday could be difficult.
Per Nevada law, the employee must request leave at least a day in advance and the employer can choose when during a shift the employee leaves in order to vote.
