Among other things, USERRA requires employers to reinstate employees returning from military leave and to train or otherwise qualify returning employees. See Nevada Military Leave.
- Nevada law will apply in instances where it provides greater benefits, protections and/or rights than federal law. See Nevada Military Leave.
- A Nevada employer may not terminate the employment of a member of the National Guard of Nevada or another state because the member is ordered to active duty or service. Any employer violating this requirement is guilty of a misdemeanor. See Nevada Military Leave.
