Employment Lawyers in Nevada

Nevada employment law seeks to protect the rights of employees, but attempts to strike a fair balance for both employer and employee. Employers may not deduct wages from employees' paychecks unless by federal order or if an employee has requested in writing that wages be withheld. An employee in Nevada is entitled to paid breaks as well as an unpaid 30-minute meal break for every 8 hours worked. Nevada also provides recourse for employees seeking to collect unpaid wages. As long as the employee has some proof owed wages, they can take their case to the Office of the Labor Commissioner to recover payment.
