Nevada requires employers to allow employees sufficient leave time to vote.

All employers in Nevada must allow employees time off to vote. This summary is restricted to coverage of private employers.

Employers must grant employees one hour of leave if the workplace is within two miles of the polling place; two hours if the workplace is more than two but less than 10 miles from the polling place; and three hours if the workplace is more than 10 miles from the polling place. The employer can designate the time employees can be absent from work to vote.

Nevada Compensation

Employers must pay $5.15 an hour to employees covered by Nevada's minimum wage law. Employers that do not provide health benefits must pay employees $6.15 an hour.

All employees are covered except for:

  • workers under the age of 18;
  • workers employed by a nonprofit organization for after school or summer employment; and
  • workers employed as trainees for a period of up to 90 days.

Even workers who are unlawfully employed are protected under the state minimum wage law.

Nevada Payroll

Employers covered by Nevada's wage payment law must pay wages at least semimonthly. Wages earned before the first of the month must be paid by 8:00 a.m. on the 15th day of the following month and payment for wages earned before the 16th day of the month by 8:00 a.m. on the last day of the month. Employees and employers can agree on another payment schedule, but the agreement cannot be a condition of employment.
