Nevada Employers, Beware the Impact of the Increased State Minimum Wage on the Daily Overtime Rate
Many employers with enterprise operations in Nevada are conscious by now that Meeting Invoice 456, enacted in June 2019, will increase the minimal wage in increments of 75 cents yearly on July 1 of every 12 months via 2024. Thus, starting on July 1, 2022, the Nevada minimal wage charge for workers who should not supplied “certified well being advantages” underneath the state’s two-tiered minimal wage system will enhance to $10.50 per hour. The minimal wage charge will enhance to $9.50 per hour for workers who’re supplied such qualifying advantages. (See under for particulars on the tiered minimal wage system and when an employer pays the lesser quantity.)
Nevada employers might need to word that a rise within the minimal wage charge brings an automated enhance within the each day additional time charge as nicely. Given the July 1, 2022, minimal wage charge of $10.50 per hour, Nevada employers that pay their staff lower than $15.75 per hour (or $14.25 per hour for employers that provide certified well being advantages) should pay staff each day additional time for time labored over eight hours in a workday or forty hours in per week. Nevada Revised Statutes part 608.0126 defines “workday” as “a interval of 24 consecutive hours which begins when the worker begins work.” That is totally different from the everyday twenty-four-hour interval in a calendar day. Workers incomes greater than 1.5 occasions the relevant minimal wage should not required to be paid each day additional time, however they’re entitled to additional time pay for hours labored over forty in per week. The one exception is that if “by mutual settlement the worker works a scheduled 10 hours per day for 4 calendar days inside any scheduled week of labor.” Nevertheless, any deviations from the “4-10 rule” may trigger additional time to accrue.
That is the primary time that employers in Nevada that pay staff a wage of $15.00 per hour shall be topic to each day additional time. Because of these minimal wage will increase, Nevada employers might need to assess whether or not their staff will now qualify for each day additional time compensation, how this each day additional time compensation will influence their companies, whether or not it makes monetary sense to extend hourly charges to keep away from each day additional time funds, and whether or not they have the correct procedures in place to trace hours labored.
Nevada’s Two-Tiered Minimal Wage System
Beneath Nevada’s two-tiered minimal wage system, employers should pay their staff the upper minimal wage charge except they supply “certified well being advantages” to their staff, each part-time and full-time. Particularly, to ensure that an employer to qualify to pay the decrease minimal wage charge, that employer should:
-
supply a medical insurance plan that “[c]overs these classes of well being care bills which might be typically deductible by an worker on his particular person federal earnings tax return” (“the medical insurance plan have to be made accessible to the worker and any dependents of the worker”) (emphasis added);
-
present a medical insurance plan wherein the share of the price of the premium for the medical insurance plan paid by the worker—no matter whether or not the worker selects an employee-only or worker plus dependent(s) plan—“[does] not exceed 10 p.c of the gross taxable earnings of that individual worker attributable to the employer underneath the Inner Income Code [emphasis added]” (voluntary ideas should not included within the 10 p.c calculation); and
-
contribute $1 per hour labored towards that worker’s medical insurance protection which the worker enrolled in (or may/would have enrolled in).

Long before Southern Nevada built its winding highways, desert tortoises roamed freely without consequence. For these federally protected animals, crossing the street without a dedicated path could mean a death sentence.
Along a 34-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 93 near Coyote Springs, fencing and underground tortoise crossings will allow for more safe passage.
“We see substantial road mortality and near-misses in this area,” said Kristi Holcomb, Southern Nevada biological supervisor at the Nevada Department of Transportation. “By adding the fencing, we’ll be able to stop the bleed.”
The federal Department of Transportation awarded Nevada’s transportation agency a $16.8 million grant to build 61 wildlife crossings and 68 miles of fencing along the highway. Clark and Lincoln counties, as well as private companies such as the Coyote Springs Investment group, will fund the project in total.
Under the Endangered Species Act, the federal government listed Mojave desert tortoises as threatened in 1990. The project area includes the last unfenced portion of what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers to be the desert tortoise’s “critical habitat.”
In Clark County, some keep desert tortoises as pets, adoptions for which are only authorized through one Nevada nonprofit, the Tortoise Group. Environmentalists in the area have long worried that sprawling solar projects may have an adverse effect on tortoise populations. As many as 1,000 tortoises per square mile inhabited the Mojave Desert before urban development, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
Crossings prevent inbreeding
One major reason that connecting critical habitat across a highway is paramount is to prevent inbreeding, Holcomb said.
“When you build a highway down the middle of a desert tortoise population, they become shy about crossing the highway,” Holcomb said. “By installing tortoise fences, we’ll give the tortoise population a chance to recover.”
Desert tortoises tend to walk parallel to the fences, which will lead them to the crossings they need to go to the other side. Promoting genetic diversity is one way different tortoise populations can be stabilized, Holcomb said.
The Nevada Department of Transportation doesn’t have a set timeline, and the project will need to go through an expedited federal review process to ensure full consideration of environmental effects.
“Be mindful, not only of tortoises that might be on the roadway, but also of our impacts on tortoises,” Holcomb added.
