Frequently Asked Questions
Nevada is an at-will employment state under NRS 613.010, meaning employers can generally terminate employees for any reason or no reason. However, wrongful termination occurs when: the employee is fired for a discriminatory reason (NRS 613.330), the termination violates an employment contract, the employee was fired for whistleblowing (NRS 613.800), or the firing is in retaliation for protected activity (filing a workers comp claim, reporting safety violations). A Peccole Ranch employment attorney can evaluate your case.
Nevada's minimum wage is tiered under NRS 608.250. In 2024-2026, Nevada's minimum wage is $12.00/hour for all employees (the prior two-tier system based on health benefits was eliminated). Tipped employees must still receive minimum wage. Overtime is owed at 1.5x the regular rate for hours over 8 per day or 40 per week under NRS 608.018. A Peccole Ranch employment attorney can help you recover unpaid wages.
