The State of Nevada should offer non-optional temporary disability benefit payments to all its workers to be paid by employee deductions.
Why is this important?
Give Nevada workers non-optional access to temporary disability benefits by mandating employers to deduct a percentage of a worker's wages to pay for the disability benefits. In California, a workers pays one percent of its wages to a disability insurance fund. Two of my offsprings have suffered non-related work illnesses that have forced them to temporarily stop working. They did not buy a voluntarily temporary disability insurance. This should not be optional.
