Nevada Overtime Rules
Nevada ties daily overtime to your wage. Everyone earns 1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek, but Nevada also pays 1.5× after 8 hours in a 24-hour period if you earn less than 1.5× the state minimum wage. Higher earners follow the weekly rule only.
- 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek (everyone).
- 1.5× daily overtime after 8 hours in a 24-hour period — but only if you earn under 1.5× the state minimum wage.
- No double time under Nevada law.
Nevada's daily overtime is wage-based, so two coworkers on the same long shift can be owed different overtime. The Office of the Nevada Labor Commissioner enforces it.
The Nevada minimum wage is $12.00/hour (tipped minimum $12.00). No tip credit allowed. Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.
