Nevada Employment Contract FAQ
Common questions about employment contracts under Nevada law.
What is Nevada's minimum wage?
Nevada's minimum wage is $12.00/hour as of July 1, 2024. Nevada's tiered wage system (lower wage for employers offering health benefits) was eliminated with AB 456, bringing all workers to the same minimum. Las Vegas and Reno employers should also check for any local ordinances.
Does Nevada require daily overtime?
Yes. Nevada is one of few states requiring daily overtime. Non-exempt employees earn 1.5x pay for hours worked over 8 in a single day AND over 40 in a week. Employees earning more than 1.5x the minimum wage may waive daily overtime by mutual written agreement.
Are non-compete agreements enforceable in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada SB 291 (effective October 1, 2017) codified standards for non-compete enforcement. Courts must: (1) find the restraint is reasonably necessary to protect the employer, (2) not impose undue hardship on the employee, and (3) not be against public policy. Nevada courts actively blue-pencil (reform) overbroad agreements.
When must final paychecks be issued in Nevada?
If an employer terminates an employee, Nevada requires final pay within 3 days of the termination date (NRS § 608.020). If the employee quits, payment is due by the next regular payday. Failure to timely pay allows the employee to recover wages plus interest and the employer faces daily penalty of $5,000 per day.
