Unlike some states, Nevada is an “employment at will” state. This means that an employer can fire whoever they want, when they want, for whatever reason they want, with limited exceptions, as long as it is not for a discriminatory purpose.
Under California law, employers must provide notice to employees before termination. For employees who have been employed for less than one year, the notice period is at least 90 days. For employees who have been employed for more than one year, the notice period is at least 60 days.

To pursue a claim of wrongful termination in Nevada, employees must generally exhaust administrative remedies before filing a lawsuit. This often involves filing a complaint with the appropriate state or federal agency, such as the Nevada Equal Rights Commission or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
