A person who appears before the Board pursuant to a subpoena is entitled to receive fees and mileage in the same amounts and under the same circumstances as prescribed by law for a witness in a civil action in the district court, unless the person is a party to the proceeding or an officer or employee of this state or any of its political subdivisions. As used in this subsection, “employee” includes, without limitation, an employee in the classified or unclassified service of the State.
3. If a person who is entitled to receive fees and mileage pursuant to subsection 2 must appear at a hearing before the Board at a place located so far from his primary residence that it is not reasonable for the person to return to that residence from day to day, the person is entitled, in addition to fees and mileage, to receive the per diem compensation for subsistence and transportation authorized by NRS 281.160 for each day of actual attendance at such a hearing and for each day necessarily occupied in traveling to and from such a hearing.
4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, a party who requests that the Board issue a subpoena to a person shall pay to the Board the amount of any compensation for subsistence and transportation that the person is entitled to receive from the Board pursuant to subsection 3.
5. As part of an award of costs to the party who prevails in a proceeding, the Board may require the party who did not prevail in the proceeding to pay to the Board the amount of any compensation for subsistence and transportation that the prevailing party would have otherwise been required to pay to the Board pursuant to subsection 4.
Sec. 3.3. 1. The Legislature finds as facts:

(c) That every person who enters or remains in the employment of the State or a local government employer accepts the facts stated in paragraphs (a) and (b) as an essential condition of his employment.

2. Any of the penalties enumerated in subsection 1 may be applied alternatively or cumulatively, in the discretion of the court.
Sec. 3.45. 1. If a strike or violation is commenced or continued in violation of an order issued pursuant to section 3.35 of this act, the State or the local government employer may:
(a) Dismiss, suspend or demote all or any of the employees who participate in the strike or violation.
(b) Cancel the contracts of employment of all or any of the employees who participate in the strike or violation.
(c) Withhold all or any part of the salaries or wages which would otherwise accrue to all or any of the employees who participate in the strike or violation.
2. Any of the powers conferred by subsection 1 may be exercised alternatively or cumulatively.
Sec. 3.5. As used in NRS 288.140 to 288.280, inclusive, and sections 3.5 to 3.9, inclusive, of this act, unless the context otherwise requires, the words and terms defined in sections 3.6 to 3.8, inclusive, of this act have the meanings ascribed to them in those sections.
Sec. 3.6. “Bargaining unit” means a group of local government employees recognized by the local government employer as having sufficient community of interest appropriate for representation by an employee organization for the purpose of collective bargaining.
Sec. 3.7. “Collective bargaining” means a method of determining conditions of employment by negotiation between representatives of the local government employer and employee organizations, entailing a mutual obligation of the local government employer and the representative of the local government employees to meet at reasonable times and bargain in good faith with respect to:

2. The negotiation of an agreement;
3. The resolution of any question arising under a negotiated agreement; or

Sec. 3.8. “Recognition” means the formal acknowledgment by the local government employer that a particular employee organization has the right to represent the local government employees within a particular bargaining unit.

Nothing in this paragraph may be construed to mean that an employee who has been given incidental administrative duties is classified as a supervisory employee.”.
