Employers and employers frequently inquire about minimum wage rates. It is important for businesses to stay up to date. The current national minimum wage, which hasn’t changed since 2009, is currently $7.25 per hour. However, As of July 1, 2024, the Nevada minimum wage has increased to $12.00 per hour.
Federal law requires overtime pay only when an employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek. Nevada law requires overtime pay after 40 hours in a workweek and after 8 hours in a workday.
For purposes of Nevada law, a workday is defined as a period of 24 consecutive hours which begins when the employee begins work.
When an employee earns less than 1.5 times the minimum wage rate, the employee must receive 1.5 times his or her rate of pay whenever he or she works more than 40 hours in any scheduled week of work, or more than 8 hours in any workday (“daily overtime”) unless by mutual agreement the employee works a scheduled 10 hours per day for 4 calendar days within any scheduled week of work (a “4-10s” schedule). When an employee earns at least 1.5 times the minimum wage rate, the employee must receive 1.5 times his or her rate of pay whenever he or she works more than 40 hours in any scheduled week.
Beginning July 1, 2024, employees making less than $18.00 per hour will be entitled to overtime after 8 hours in any workday or 40 hours in a workweek. Employees making at or above that threshold are only entitled to overtime when they work more than 40 hours in a workweek.
Without specific authorization from the employee, employers may make deductions from an employee’s paycheck for (1) any amount required by law (i.e. taxes, child support, etc.) and (2) contributions to a benefit program (i.e. health insurance, pension plan, etc.).
In order to make other deductions from an employee’s paycheck, the following conditions must be met:
- The employer has a reasonable basis to believe the employee is responsible for the amount to be deducted.
- The deduction is for a specific purpose, pay period/date, and amount.
- The employee voluntarily authorizes, in writing, the employer to deduct the amount from their wage.
Nevada law specifically prohibits the use of a blanket authorizations made in advance to withhold any amount from wages due to the employee.
