1. Supervisory employee includes:
(a) Any individual having authority in the
interest of the employer to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote,
discharge, assign, reward or discipline other employees or responsibility to
direct them, to adjust their grievances or effectively to recommend such action,
if in connection with the foregoing, the exercise of such authority is not of a
merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the use of independent
judgment. The exercise of such authority shall not be deemed to place the
employee in supervisory employee status unless the exercise of such authority
occupies a significant portion of the employees workday. If any of the
following persons perform some, but not all, of the foregoing duties under a
paramilitary command structure, such a person shall not be deemed a supervisory
employee solely because of such duties:
(1) A police officer, as defined in NRS 288.215 ;
(2) A firefighter, as defined in NRS 288.215 ;
(3) A person who:
(I) Has the powers of a peace
officer pursuant to NRS 289.150 , 289.170 , 289.180 or 289.190 ; and
(II) Is a local government employee
who is authorized to be in a bargaining unit pursuant to the provisions of this
chapter; or
(4) A person who:
(I) Provides civilian support
services to a law enforcement agency; and
(II) Is an employee who is
authorized to be in a bargaining unit pursuant to the provisions of this
chapter.
(b) Any individual or class of individuals
appointed by the employer and having authority on behalf of the employer to:
(1) Hire, transfer, suspend, lay off,
recall, terminate, promote, discharge, assign, reward or discipline other
employees or responsibility to direct them, to adjust their grievances or to
effectively recommend such action;
(2) Make budgetary decisions; and
(3) Be consulted on decisions relating to
collective bargaining,
if, in
connection with the foregoing, the exercise of such authority is not of a
merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the use of independent
judgment. The exercise of such authority shall not be deemed to place the
employee in supervisory employee status unless the exercise of such authority
occupies a significant portion of the employees workday.
2. Nothing in this section shall be
construed to mean that an employee who has been given incidental administrative
duties shall be classified as a supervisory employee.
