Nevada vs. Federal Overtime Laws

πŸ”‘ Key Fact: Nevada Has DAILY Overtime

Nevada is one of only 4 states with daily overtime. If you earn less than 1.5Γ— minimum wage ($18/hr), you're entitled to time-and-a-half after 8 hours in a single day β€” even if you work less than 40 hours that week. Nevada also has no tip credit.

Provision Nevada Law Federal FLSA Which Applies?
Minimum Wage $12.00/hour $7.25/hour NV (higher)
Tipped Wage $12.00/hour (no tip credit) $2.13/hour NV (much higher)
Daily Overtime 1.5Γ— after 8 hrs/day (if earning < $18/hr) None NV (unique)
Weekly Overtime 1.5Γ— after 40 hrs/week 1.5Γ— after 40 hrs/week Same
Meal/Rest Breaks Required (30 min meal, 10 min rest) Not required NV (mandatory)

Common Nevada Overtime Violations

🎰 Casino & Gaming Violations

Dealers, housekeeping, and floor staff often miss daily OT when working 10-12 hour shifts. Many casinos wrongly claim employees earn too much to qualify.

🍸 Tip Pool Abuse

Even with no tip credit, restaurants and bars violate NV law by requiring tip sharing with managers or including non-service employees in pools.

πŸ—οΈ Construction Off-the-Clock

Las Vegas construction boom means widespread violations β€” unpaid travel between sites, mandatory meetings, and day rates without proper OT.

🏨 Hotel Housekeeping

Room quotas forcing 10+ hour days without paying daily overtime. Auto-deducted meal breaks that workers never actually receive.

🚚 Warehouse & Logistics

Distribution centers near Las Vegas and Reno using piece-rate pay without calculating overtime properly on long shift days.

⛏️ Mining Industry

Gold and lithium mining operations in Northern Nevada with extended shifts and misclassification of equipment operators as exempt.

What You Can Recover Under Nevada Law

Nevada Wage Recovery

πŸ’° Unpaid Wages + Daily OT

Recover all unpaid minimum wage and overtime β€” including daily OT for each day you worked over 8 hours.

βš–οΈ Double Damages (FLSA)

Federal FLSA provides liquidated damages equal to your unpaid wages β€” effectively doubling your recovery.

πŸ“‹ Attorney Fees

Both Nevada and federal law require employers to pay your attorney fees if you win.

Daily OT Adds Up Fast

A worker at $15/hr doing five 10-hour days earns 2 hours of daily OT per day = 10 extra OT hours per week. That's $22.50/hr Γ— 10 = $225/week more than under federal law alone.

Why Nevada Cases Are Stronger

Nevada is one of only 4 states with daily overtime. Combined with no tip credit and mandatory breaks, NV workers often have stronger claims than federal law alone provides.
