Except as otherwise provided in this section, if an employee is needed to provide care for a member of his or her immediate family with an illness or other authorized medical need, the employee may use his or her accumulated sick leave, not to exceed 120 hours in any 1 calendar year.

To obtain an exception, the employee must submit a request in writing to the appointing authority, accompanied by a certification from a provider of health care that substantiates the need for the employee's participation.

3. The appointing authority may require the employee to submit supplemental information which includes a second and third medical opinion as provided in subsection 2 of NAC 284.566.
