In Nevada, employers are required to provide at least seven days' notice for work schedule changes.
Nevada's 4/10 rule allows employees to work four 10-hour shifts in a week without triggering daily overtime. To use this arrangement, both the employer and employee must agree in writing. This written agreement clearly outlines the schedule and ensures compliance with Nevada's overtime laws.
