NEVADA CERTIFIED PUBLIC MANAGER PROGRAM

 

The Nevada Certified Public Manager Program received its accreditation in September 2005! We are very proud of the success of this innovative, cutting-edge program and want to thank both the participants and their agencies/departments for their support.  The graduation for the inaugural class was held on November 8, 2005 at the Nevada State Capitol.  Please visit the Governor’s website page http://www.nv.gov/2005-11_08CPMGradList.htm for graduation highlights.  The second CPM class started their program in Carson City on August 1st and in Las Vegas on August 29th.

 

SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION TRAINING

 

All employees are required to attend sexual harassment prevention training within six months of appointment and attend a refresher course at least once every two years.  Registration for the required sexual harassment training can be completed via the Internet at http://neats.state.nv.us/NEATS/.  The employee’s Internal ID# (the number used on your timesheet) will be accepted as your first login.  NEATS will then direct you to establish a new password.

 

OFFICE OF EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT

 

If you are new to using the NEATS/EDM class enrollment system, the Office of Employee Development within the Department of Personnel offers 3 different classes for NEATS/EDM users.  They are “NEATS/EDM for Employees”, …” for Instructors”, and “…for Administrators.”  You may use NEATS/EDM to review and enroll in one or more of the classes or you may check with your agency’s training representative for further details.  Please access Course Information and Enrollment via the TRAINING link at the top of this web page and then select NEATS/EDM to view class locations and dates.

 

ANNUAL LEAVE FORFEITURE

 

Employees that requested the use of annual leave by October 15th and were denied the usage, will be paid the lesser of the hours requested or the hours otherwise forfeited on the pay check of January 26, 2007.  Forfeiture of annual leave balances in excess of 240 hours will occur with the processing of the payroll check of January 26, 2007.  NDF Firefighters working 112 hours biweekly and Professional Teaching Parents working 120 or 160 hours biweekly have a greater annual leave forfeiture threshold.  An NDF Firefighter working 112 hours biweekly will forfeit annual leave in excess of 336 hours.  A Professional Teaching Parent working 120 hours biweekly will forfeit annual leave in excess of 360 hours and a Professional Teaching Parent working 160 hours biweekly will forfeit annual leave in excess of 480 hours. 

 

SPECIAL SICK LEAVE

The transfer of regular sick leave to special sick leave will also occur with the processing of the payroll check of January 26, 2007.  Employees with a regular sick leave balance of 720 hours on December 31st will have regular sick leave hours transferred to special sick leave hours if the number of sick leave hours used during the calendar year is less than the number of sick leave hours earned during the calendar year. Essentially what occurs is employees with a balance of 720 hours or more are identified.  A calculation of sick leave hours earned less sick leave hours used is done to determine how many of the earned hours were unused.  Half of the earned hours that were unused will then be transferred from the regular sick leave balance to the special sick leave balance.  For example, if an employee earns 120 hours of sick leave and only uses 10 hours of sick leave, the number of unused earned hours is 110.  Half of this amount or 55 hours is transferred from the employee’s regular sick leave balance to the employee’s special sick leave balance.

PAYROLL CERTIFICATION TRAINING

 

NAC 284.504 requires an employee of the State who performs work involving the preparation of forms for the Records or Payroll sections of the Department of Personnel to be certified in the preparation of those forms and their related procedures.  Continued certification is required every two years.  The Department of Personnel has scheduled the first Payroll Certification class for 2007 on March 6 and 7.  Enrollment can be completed via NEATS.
