Nevada overtime rules

• 1.5× for hours over 40 in a workweek, for everyone owed overtime
• 1.5× for hours over 8 in any 24-hour period, if you earn less than 1.5 times the minimum wage. With Nevada's minimum wage at $12.00, that's under $18.00 an hour.
• No double time

The daily rule comes from NRS 608.018. Hours paid as daily overtime don't count again toward the 40 weekly hours.

The 24-hour workday

Nevada's workday is the 24 hours from when you start work, not the calendar day. If you start at 9 a.m. on Monday and at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Tuesday's first two hours fall inside Monday's 24 hours. With an 8-hour shift on Monday, those two hours are overtime. This calculator counts each day separately, so add those hours yourself if your start time moves earlier.

Example

At $16 an hour, a week of 10, 10, 8, 8 and 8 hours is 44 hours. Daily overtime is 2 + 2 = 4 hours, leaving 40 regular hours: 40 × $16 = $640, plus 4 × $24 = $96, for $736. At $18 an hour or more, the same week has overtime only for the 4 hours past 40.

Exceptions

• Four 10-hour days. You and your employer can agree in writing to a schedule of four 10-hour days. The 8-hour daily rule then doesn't apply, but overtime after 40 hours a week still does.
• Exempt employees. Some salaried managers and professionals aren't owed overtime.

Questions

I earn exactly $18.00 an hour. Do I get daily overtime?

No. Daily overtime is for employees earning less than 1.5 times the minimum wage. At $18.00 or more, only weekly overtime applies.

Will the $18.00 threshold change?

It moves with Nevada's minimum wage. The Labor Commissioner publishes the current figure in an annual bulletin on daily overtime.

An estimate for one workweek, not legal advice. Your written schedule agreement or union contract can change the result.
