What Nevada law says
| Final paycheck if fired or laid off | Wages are due immediately on discharge, and also immediately when an employee is temporarily laid off (placed on nonworking status). If not paid within 3 days after they are due, the employee's wages continue as a penalty for up to 30 days. Source: NRS 608.020; NRS 608.040 |
|---|---|
| Final paycheck if you quit | Wages are due by the employee's next regular payday or 7 days after quitting, whichever is earlier. Source: NRS 608.030 |
| Minimum wage | $12.00 per hour for all employees since July 1, 2024 (the former lower rate for employers offering health benefits was eliminated). If the federal minimum wage rises above $12, the federal rate applies. No further increase is set in the constitution. Constitution text: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Const/NvConst.html |
