Nevada labor and environmental law changes as new issues arise. Laws should be reviewed by your business regularly in order to protect your employees and your business.

You do not want your business to be forced to pay penalties or deal with lawsuits for either labor violations or environmental infractions. Avoid such problems by consulting with a well-trained lawyer who specializes in Nevada labor laws and environmental regulations.

Nevada labor laws cover a variety of issues such as:

1. The state minimum wage,

2. Required employee breaks,

3. Discrimination,

4. Harassment,

5. Nevada employee rights,

6. Overtime pay for different types of employees,

7. Safety and health protection.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Consult with labor lawyers in Nevada


Nevada labor law attorneys are more familiar with the statutes and regulations that Nevada businesses face than are attorneys from elsewhere. Look for an attorney who has experience in your specialty, a good track record and time to devote to your needs.

I recommend: Morris, Polich & Purdy specialize in Nevada labor and environmental law. They provide employment counseling, draft forms, and provide training on labor issues to supervisors and managers of small or large businesses. They also help individuals or groups avoid costly legal battles related to environmental issues. Nevada employment law firms like the Lyons Law Firm assists businesses and individual contractors comply with Nevada employment laws.

Post Nevada labor laws where managers and staff can see them easily


In order to protect your business and your employees, everyone needs to be informed of their rights and obligations as employees of a Nevada business.

I recommend: Good sources for Nevada labor law information that you can post throughout your business, particularly in break rooms or near time clocks, are the LaborLawCenter, GovernmentPoster.com and GovDocs.

Find help when you do have a problem with labor laws in Nevada


If your business is too small to hire a full-time attorney or human relations specialist with training in Nevada labor law, look at consulting firms. They can provide training, review policies, answer questions and evaluate whether complaints about labor law violations have merit.

I recommend: Swenson Consulting Services helps small businesses determine what they need to improve regarding Nevada employee rights and helps them do it. Similarly, the National Professional Employment Organization offers to audit your company and help you fix Nevada labor law problems.
