Excerpt: On May 28, 2009, Governor Jim Gibbons signed into law AB 243 expanding the leave entitlements of employees for attending or participating in school activities of their children. AB 243 expands leave in two significant ways. First, AB 243 extends the current protections of Nevada Revised Statutes section 392.920 to the parents, guardians and custodians of children enrolled in private as well as public schools. Second, AB 243 requires employers of 50 or more employees to grant employees up to 4 hours of unpaid leave per school year for each child enrolled in school, to attend certain school-related activities. AB 243 becomes effective August 15, 2009.
