Nevada overtime rules at a glance

RuleNevada
Weekly overtime1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek
Daily overtime1.5× after 8 hours in a workday (employees earning < 1.5× minimum wage)
Double timeNone required by law

Key takeaways

  • Nevada has daily overtime, but only for employees earning less than 1.5× the state minimum wage: they earn 1.5× for hours over 8 in a workday.
  • Employees earning at or above 1.5× the minimum wage follow the federal weekly-40 rule with no daily overtime.
  • The $12 state minimum wage makes the daily-overtime threshold $18/hour. A mutually agreed schedule of four 10-hour days has a statutory exception. Estimates assume covered, non-exempt employment.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1

    Enter your hourly rate

    Use your regular hourly wage. Nevada's overtime is calculated on the regular rate, which includes shift differentials and non-discretionary bonuses.

  2. 2

    Enter hours for each day

    Nevada uses daily overtime, so each day matters on its own: 1.5× after 8 hours in a workday (employees earning < 1.5× minimum wage). Enter the hours you worked per day.

  3. 3

    Read the breakdown

    The calculator shows regular, overtime and (where applicable) double-time hours and pay, with a step-by-step breakdown.

Why Nevada is different

A 4×10 schedule (four 10-hour days) has zero federal overtime, but in Nevada it earns 8 daily-overtime hours: 1.5× after 8 hours in a workday (employees earning < 1.5× minimum wage). Toggle the calculator and compare panel to see exactly what the daily rules add versus a federal-only employer.

Frequently asked questions

When does overtime start in Nevada?
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. Nevada also pays overtime 1.5× after 8 hours in a workday (employees earning < 1.5× minimum wage), and requires no double time.
Does Nevada have daily overtime?
Yes. Nevada is one of only four states with daily overtime: 1.5× after 8 hours in a workday (employees earning < 1.5× minimum wage) (no double-time requirement), on top of the weekly 40-hour rule. A long single day can earn overtime even in a week under 40 hours.
What is the Nevada minimum wage?
Sets its own minimum wage above the federal $7.25/hour — check the current rate, as it raises the overtime base for lower-paid workers.. Minimum wage matters for overtime because the regular rate (and therefore the overtime rate) for a minimum-wage worker is based on it.
Is overtime calculated per week or per pay period?
Per workweek, always. Even on a biweekly or semi-monthly paycheck, each 7-day workweek is evaluated separately — 46 hours one week and 34 the next still owes 6 overtime hours, never zero.
Who is exempt from overtime?
Salaried executive, administrative and professional employees who meet both the federal duties tests and salary threshold are generally exempt. Job title alone does not decide it — misclassification is a common wage claim.
