Nevada Overtime Rules
Nevada has a daily overtime trigger that applies when an employee earns less than 1.5 times the state minimum wage. For 2026, with the Nevada minimum wage at $12.00/hour, the threshold is $18.00/hour. Employees earning below this threshold qualify for:
- Overtime (1.5Γ) after 8 hours in a single day
- Overtime (1.5Γ) after 40 hours in a workweek
Employees earning at or above the threshold are only entitled to weekly overtime (40+ hours).
Nevada Overtime Exemptions
Nevada follows federal FLSA exemptions for executive, administrative, and professional employees. The state salary threshold mirrors the federal $684/week minimum.
