FAQ

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.

Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes section 608.019 an employer must provide an uninterrupted 10-minute rest period for every 4 hours of work or major fraction thereof. Authorized rest periods shall be counted as hours worked, for which there will be no deduction from wages.

No. If you would need to refuse a break, either the break is a legal requirement or part of company policy (so refusal would be a fireable offense). In many situations, such refusal creates liability issues for the employer.

If your employer failed to provide those breaks, they may be violating Nevada's labor laws. You could consider discussing this with them or filing a complaint with the Nevada Labor Commissioner if you feel your rights have been violated.

If your employer failed to provide those breaks, they may be violating Nevada's labor laws. You could consider discussing this with them or filing a complaint with the Nevada Labor Commissioner if you feel your rights have been violated.

No, not in most places in the United States. Labor law requires that you take a break, and your employer can face heavy fines if you are caught not taking that break.

Workers have the right to one uninterrupted 20 minute rest break during their working day, if they work more than 6 hours a day. This could be a tea or lunch break.

Any number of hours exceeding 40 counts as overtime and must be compensated at a higher hourly rate. Non-exempt employees who do exceed that number are entitled to 1.5 times their regular rate.

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.

You'll need to complete a wage claim or complaint form, available through the Nevada Labor Commissioner's website or in person at their Carson City office or Las Vegas location. The form asks for detailed information about your employer, the nature of your complaint, and the compensation you believe you are owed.
