1. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if an employer fails to pay to the Division any amount due pursuant to NRS 617.401 , the Division may, after the date on which the debt became due, file with the office of the clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction an application for the entry of summary judgment against the employer for the amount due. The Division may not enforce a judgment against an employer if an appeal requested by the employer pursuant to NRS 617.401 is pending. 2. If the Division intends to file an application for the entry of summary judgment, the Division shall, not less than 15 days before the date on which the application is filed, notify the employer of the Divisions intention to file the application. The notification must be sent by certified mail to the last known address of the employer and must include the name of the employee for whom the claim was paid, the amount sought to be recovered and the date on which the application will be filed with the court. 3. An application for the entry of summary judgment must: (a) Be accompanied by a certificate which specifies: (1) The amount owed by the employer, including any attorneys fees, interest and administrative costs due; (2) The name and address of the employer; and (3) That the Division has complied with the applicable provisions of law relating to the determination of the amount required to be paid; and (b) Include: (1) A request that judgment be entered against the employer for the amount specified in the certificate; and (2) Evidence that the employer was notified of the application for the entry of summary judgment in accordance with subsection 2. 4. The court clerk, upon the filing of an application for the entry of summary judgment which complies with the requirements set forth in this section, shall forthwith enter a judgment against the employer in the amount of the debt, plus any attorneys fees, interest and administrative costs, as set forth in the certificate. The Division shall serve a copy of the judgment, together with a copy of the application and the certificate, upon the employer against whom the judgment is entered, either by personal service or by mailing a copy to the last known address of the employer. 5. An abstract of the judgment entered pursuant to subsection 4, or a copy thereof, may be recorded in the office of the county recorder of any county. 6. From the time of its recordation, the judgment constitutes a lien upon all real and personal property situated in the county that is owned by the employer, or which the employer may afterward acquire, until the lien expires. The lien has the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien and continues for 6 years after the date of the judgment so entered by the court clerk unless sooner released or otherwise discharged. 7. Within 6 years after the date of the recording of the judgment or within 6 years after the date of the last extension of the lien pursuant to this subsection, the lien may be extended by recording an affidavit of renewal in the office of the county recorder. From the date of recording, the lien is extended for 6 years to all real and personal property situated in the county that is owned by the employer or acquired by the employer afterwards, unless the lien is sooner released or otherwise discharged.
