Nevada requires employers with 50+ workers to provide paid leave at 0.01923 hours per hour worked, capped at 40 hours yearly under NRS 608.0197 (2019). Las Vegas cannot expand the mandate locally — wage-and-hour rules are state-preempted.
Nevada became one of the first non-coastal states to mandate general paid leave when SB 312 (2019) added NRS 608.0197. Private employers with 50 or more Nevada employees must accrue paid leave at 0.01923 hours per hour worked — about 40 hours per year for a full-time employee. Workers can use the leave for any reason after 90 days of employment, with notice as practicable. Carryover is capped, and unused balances need not be paid out at termination unless the employer policy says so. The Nevada Labor Commissioner enforces. Las Vegas cannot adopt a more generous local mandate due to NRS 608.250 wage-and-hour preemption.
Failing to provide accrued leave or retaliating against users brings Labor Commissioner enforcement, back-pay orders, and civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation under NRS 608.195.
