What Nevada Law Covers

Nevada’s anti-discrimination law (NRS 613.330) generally applies to employers with 15 or more employees. It protects against discrimination and harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability and national origin, among other characteristics. Federal laws such as Title VII also apply.

Complaints can be filed with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) or the EEOC, generally within 300 days. See also Nevada EEO compliance.
