Nevada Pushes for 12 Weeks Paid Leave | Reno News

Nevada’s pushing a bold new plan to give every worker twelve paid weeks of leave—whether for a new baby or caring for a sick loved one—mirroring Colorado’s model and expanding coverage to nearly two million workers, double the previous proposal. While many Nevadans still face unpaid leave or none at all, forcing impossible choices between family and finances, state employees currently get eight weeks guaranteed. Last year’s bill for larger companies was vetoed over economic concerns, but now the Attorney General running for governor backs the plan. Advocates argue paid leave actually helps small businesses by cutting turnover—and this version is set to hit the legislature in February.
