FAQ
For example, Nevada law requires employers to provide employees with a written work schedule at least seven days in advance for each workweek. Additionally, Nevada has specific requirements for rest and meal breaks, which are not covered under federal law.
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.
Nevada has no legal standard defining full-time employment by weekly hours. Employers determine this, but the IRS considers 30 hours a week full-time for benefits, making 32 hours often considered full-time.
Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes section 608.019 an employer must provide a minimum of a 30-minute uninterrupted meal period, for a continuous 8 hours of work.
During this period, employees who work up to 40 hours are compensated for their work at least at an hourly rate of a minimum wage, as defined by the Nevada constitution. Any number of hours exceeding 40 counts as overtime and must be compensated at a higher hourly rate.
The IRS, meanwhile, considers a part-time employee to be someone who works less than 30 hours per week or less than 130 hours per month.
In the state of Nevada, an employer shall not employ an employee for a continuous period of 8 hours without permitting the employee to have an uninterrupted meal period of at least 30 minutes.
Nevada Scheduling Notice Law If an employer fails to provide this advance notice, they may face penalties or be required to compensate employees. This requirement differs from federal law, which does not mandate any specific advance notice for schedule changes.
Effective July 1, 2024, the Nevada minimum wage will increase to $12.00 per hour, regardless of the whether the employer offers employees qualifying health benefits.
