Small Claims is a special court where civil lawsuits for $10,000 or less are decided (NRS 73.010). Small Claims allows individuals to sue for monetary damages and parties generally represent themselves without an attorney.
The process is intended to be simpler than traditional court proceedings, allowing individuals to present their cases without needing legal expertise. Small claims courts are available in both district and justice courts throughout Nevada. Small claims cases are often resolved more quickly than larger civil cases.
Basic Steps to File a Small Claims Suit: Investigate the defendant's place of employment, bank information, vehicle registration, etc. to ensure that the judgment is collectable. File the Affidavit of Complaint Small Claims along with the required forms. Serve the defendant with the Affidavit of Complaint Small Claims.

If you are eligible to receive unemployment compensation, you should start receiving a check within 2 to 3 weeks after filing the initial claim. Sometimes your initial applications for unemployment compensation will be denied. If this happens you can protest your denial. You should immediately request a hearing.
The following is a list of some common reasons for denial: Voluntarily leaving work without good cause. Being discharged for misconduct connected with work. Not being able to work or available for work. Refusing an offer of suitable work. Knowingly making false statements to obtain benefit payments.
The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation provides that good cause for leaving work can be established if a reasonable person would find a compelling reason to quit and there are no other reasonable alternatives but to quit.
