In North Las Vegas, Nevada requires daily overtime in addition to the federal weekly standard: employees who earn less than 1.5 times the state minimum wage earn 1.5x their regular rate after 8 hours in a workday, and all non-exempt employees earn 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek. Overtime is based on your regular rate of pay, which includes most non-discretionary bonuses, not just your base hourly wage.
The applicable minimum wage in North Las Vegas is $12.00/hour. North Las Vegas does not set a separate city minimum wage, so the Nevada statewide minimum of $12.00/hour applies; Nevada moved to a single flat rate in 2024. Overtime must be at least 1.5x your regular rate, and if your rate is higher than the minimum, overtime is figured on your actual rate.
Sometimes. In Nevada, employees who earn less than 1.5 times the minimum wage earn 1.5x overtime after 8 hours in a single workday, in addition to weekly overtime after 40 hours; higher earners follow the 40-hour weekly rule. The calculator on this page estimates weekly overtime.
Salaried executive, administrative, and professional employees who earn above the FLSA salary threshold ($684/week) and meet the duties tests are generally exempt, as are most independent contractors. Nevada follows the federal exemption rules, and its daily overtime rule applies mainly to lower-wage hourly workers earning under 1.5 times the minimum wage. Check with an employment attorney for your situation.
Overtime is taxed as ordinary wages. New for 2026, the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act lets eligible non-exempt workers deduct up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers) of overtime pay from federal taxable income. Nevada has no state income tax on wages, so only the federal overtime rules apply. Consult a tax professional to confirm eligibility.
