As an employer, understanding Nevada’s overtime laws will help you better understand what you can and can’t offer your employees.

Nevada labor laws require employers to pay overtime at the rate of 1½ times an employee’s regular rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek to all employees, unless otherwise exempt.

This also ensures that employers must pay overtime at the rate of 1½ times an employee’s regular rate for all hours worked in excess of 8 in a workday to employees who are compensated at less than 1½ times Nevada’s minimum wage, unless otherwise exempt. NV Statute 608.018NV Labor Comm. FAQs.
