Hiring & Termination Support for Nevada Small Businesses

Hiring the right people and letting go of the wrong ones are two of the most critical (and legally sensitive) aspects of running a business. For small business owners in Nevada, every hiring and termination decision matters. Nevada Association of Employers (NAE) provides practical, compliant, and professional hiring and termination support tailored to the needs of small businesses across the state.

Whether you’re onboarding your first employee or facing a tough termination, we help you handle the process with confidence and legal peace of mind.

Smart Hiring Starts with the Right Support

Hiring mistakes can be costly, both financially and culturally. NAE helps small businesses create hiring processes that attract qualified candidates, ensure compliance, and build long-term employee success.

  • Job description development
  • Pre-employment screening and interview guidance
  • Hiring policies and offer letters
  • Background checks and reference verification
  • Compliance with federal and Nevada-specific hiring laws
  • New hire paperwork and onboarding best practices

We help you find the right fit—and set new hires up for success from day one.

Termination Support That Reduces Risk

Employee termination can be one of the most challenging HR responsibilities—and one of the most legally risky if not handled properly. NAE provides confidential, step-by-step guidance to help you terminate employees legally, fairly, and in line with best practices.

  • Documentation review and performance management
  • Guidance on progressive discipline and warnings
  • Separation agreements and final paycheck compliance
  • Avoiding wrongful termination claims

  • COBRA and unemployment claim handling

We work with you to ensure each termination is documented, compliant, and respectful.
