§ 616C.570. On-the-job training as component of plan for program of vocational rehabilitation

1. A plan for a program of vocational rehabilitation developed pursuant to NRS 616C.555 may include a program for on-the-job training, if the training is suitable for the

injured employee. 2. Before an injured employee may participate in a program for on-the-job training,

the insurer and the employer must execute a written agreement which contains an explanation

of the training and a schedule for that training. 3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the insurer may pay not more than

50 percent of the wages of an injured employee who is participating in a program for

on-the-job training. An insurer contributing toward the wages of an injured employee shall pay the employee

within 10 days after the employee submits documentation of his or her payroll to the

insurer. The insurer shall not contribute to the wages of the injured employee for more than

the period authorized for the particular employee pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 616C.555 or 616C.560 . 4. The insurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request for payment, reimburse

the training employer for the wages paid by the training employer to the injured employee

pursuant to this section if: (a) After the successful completion of the training, the training employer continues

to employ the injured employee for at least 90 days in a position which requires the

training so obtained; or (b) The injured employee: (1) Within 30 days after his or her successful completion of the training, obtains

employment which requires the skills obtained by him or her as a direct result of

the training provided by the training employer; and (2) Retains that or similar employment for at least 6 months after the completion

of the training.
