Revises provisions relating to employment. (BDR 53-623)

AB 179 eliminates an exception that previously allowed Nevada private employers with 50+ employees to avoid providing paid leave if they already had a separate paid leave policy meeting the minimum rate (0.01923 hours per hour worked). It applies to all such employers, requiring them to comply with the standard paid leave mandate instead of relying on existing policies. The bill also clarifies that specific employer actions - like denying leave or reducing hours - constitute prohibited retaliation for employees using paid leave. This change ensures consistent access to paid leave benefits for eligible workers across Nevada.
