Step 1 :

1. A person knowingly threatens to cause or commits an act that causes:
   1. Bodily injury to himself or another person;
   2. Damage to the property of another person; or
   3. Substantial harm to the physical or mental health or safety of a person;
2. The threat is made or the act is committed against an employer, an employee of the employer while the employee performs his duties of employment or a person present at the workplace of the employer; and
3. The threat would cause a reasonable person to fear that the threat will be carried out or the act would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or harassed. (NRS 33.240.)

Step 2 :

If you have knowledge that a specific person is the target of harassment in the workplace, you are required to make a good faith effort to notify the victim who is the target of the harassment that you intend to seek a protection order. (NRS 33.260.)

You are also generally required to provide written or oral notice to the “adverse party” (the perpetrator who is causing the harassment) that you intend to seek a protection order. An e-mail, letter, or fax to the adverse party could constitute written notice. A telephone call or face-to-face statement could constitute oral notice.

Step 3 :

You must file your application in the justice court for the township where the workplace harassment occurred or where the person affected by the harassment was located when it occurred. (NRS 200.581.)

For example, if the adverse party caused physical damage to a business in North Las Vegas, or threatened employees in North Las Vegas, you can file your application in the North Las Vegas Justice Court. If the adverse party is making threatening phone calls to your business or its employees, and you received those phone calls in Henderson, you can file in that court.
