(b) May adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of paragraph (a).

2. If the Labor Commissioner has reason to believe that a person is violating or has violated a labor law or regulation, the Labor Commissioner may take any appropriate action against the person to enforce the labor law or regulation whether or not a claim or complaint has been made to the Labor Commissioner concerning the violation.

3. Before the Labor Commissioner may enforce an administrative penalty against a person who violates a labor law or regulation, the Labor Commissioner must provide the person with notice and an opportunity for a hearing as set forth in NRS 607.207 .

4. In determining the amount of any administrative penalty to be imposed against a person who violates a labor law or regulation, the Labor Commissioner shall consider the person's previous record of compliance with the labor laws and regulations and the severity of the violation.

The imposition of a civil remedy, an administrative penalty or other administrative action against the person does not operate as a defense in any criminal proceeding brought against the person.

7. If, after due inquiry, the Labor Commissioner believes that a person who is financially unable to employ counsel has a valid and enforceable claim for wages, commissions or other demands, the Labor Commissioner may present the facts to the Attorney General. The Attorney General shall prosecute the claim if the Attorney General determines that the claim is valid and enforceable.

Rates for employers
Status: in_force

1. As used in this section: (a) “ Average actual duration ” means the number of weeks obtained by dividing the number of weeks of benefits paid for weeks of total unemployment in a consecutive 12-month period by the number of first payments made in the same 12-month period. (b) “ Average annual payroll ” for each calendar year means the annual average of total wages paid by an employer subject to contributions for the 3 consecutive calendar years immediately preceding the computation date. The average annual payroll for employers first qualifying as eligible employers must be computed on the total amount of wages paid, subject to contributions, for not less than 10 consecutive quarters and not more than 12 consecutive quarters ending on December 31, immediately preceding the computation date. (c) “ Beneficiary ” means a person who has received a first payment. (d) “ Computation date ” for each calendar year means June 30 of the preceding calendar year. (e) “ Covered worker ” means a person who has worked in employment subject to this chapter. (f) “ First payment ” means the first weekly unemployment insurance benefit paid to a person in the person's benefit year. (g) “ Reserve balance ” means the excess, if any, of total contributions paid by each employer over total benefit charges to that employer's experience rating record. (h) “ Reserve ratio ” means the percentage ratio that the reserve balance bears to the average annual payroll. (i) “ Total contributions paid ” means the total amount of contributions, due on wages paid on or before the computation date, paid by an employer not later than the last day of the second month immediately following the computation date. (j) “ Unemployment risk ratio ” means the ratio obtained by dividing the number of first payments issued in any consecutive 12-month period by the average monthly number of covered workers in employment as shown on the records of the Division for the same 12-month period.

2. The Administrator shall, as of the computation date for each calendar year, classify employers in accordance with their actual payrolls, contributions and benefit experience, and shall determine for each employer the rate of contribution which applies to that employer for each calendar year in order to reflect his or her experience and classification. The contribution rate of an employer may not be reduced below 2.95 percent, unless there have been 12 consecutive calendar quarters immediately preceding the computation date throughout which the employer has been subject to this chapter and his or her account as an employer could have been charged with benefit payments, except that an employer who has not been subject to the law for a sufficient period to meet this requirement may qualify for a rate less than 2.95 percent if his or her account has been chargeable throughout a lesser period not less than the 10-consecutive-calendar-quarter period ending on the computation date.

3. Any employer who qualifies under paragraph (b) of subsection 9 and receives the experience record of a predecessor employer must be assigned the contribution rate of the predecessor.

4. Benefits paid to a person up to and including the computation date must be charged against the records, for experience rating, of the person's base-period employers in the same percentage relationship that wages reported by individual employers represent to total wages reported by all base period employers, except that: (a) If one of the base period employers has paid 75 percent or more of the wages paid to the person during the person's base period, and except as otherwise provided in NRS 612.551 , the benefits, less a proportion equal to the proportion of wages paid during the base period by employers who make reimbursement in lieu of contributions, must be charged to the records for experience rating of that employer. The proportion of benefits paid which is equal to the part of the wages of the claimant for the base period paid by an employer who makes reimbursement must be charged to the record of that employer. (b) No benefits paid to a multistate claimant based upon entitlement to benefits in more than one state may be charged to the experience rating record of any employer when no benefits would have been payable except pursuant to NRS 612.295 . (c) Except for employers who have been given the right to make reimbursement in lieu of contributions, extended benefits paid to a person must not be charged against the accounts of the person's base-period employers.

5. The Administrator shall, as of the computation date for each calendar year, compute the reserve ratio for each eligible employer and shall classify those employers on the basis of their individual reserve ratios. The contribution rate assigned to each eligible employer for the calendar year must be determined by the range within which the employer's reserve ratio falls. The Administrator shall, by regulation, prescribe the contribution rate schedule to apply for each calendar year by designating the ranges of reserve ratios to which must be assigned the various contribution rates provided in subsection 6. The lowest contribution rate must be assigned to the designated range of highest reserve ratios and each succeeding higher contribution rate must be assigned to each succeeding designated range of lower reserve ratios, except that, within the limits possible, the differences between reserve ratio ranges must be uniform.

6. Each employer eligible for a contribution rate based upon experience and classified in accordance with this section must be assigned a contribution rate by the Administrator for each calendar year according to the following classes: Class 1․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․0.25 percent Class 2․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․0.55 percent Class 3․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․0.85 percent Class 4․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․1.15 percent Class 5․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․1.45 percent Class 6․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․1.75 percent Class 7․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․2.05 percent Class 8․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․2.35 percent Class 9․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․2.65 percent Class 10․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․2.95 percent Class 11․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․3.25 percent Class 12․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․3.55 percent Class 13․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․3.85 percent Class 14․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․4.15 percent Class 15․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․4.45 percent Class 16․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․4.75 percent Class 17․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․5.05 percent Class 18․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․ ․5.40 percent

7. On September 30 of each year, the Administrator shall determine: (a) The highest of the unemployment risk ratios experienced in the 109 consecutive 12-month periods in the 10 years ending on March 31; (b) The potential annual number of beneficiaries found by multiplying the highest unemployment risk ratio by the average monthly number of covered workers in employment as shown on the records of the Division for the 12 months ending on March 31; (c) The potential annual number of weeks of benefits payable found by multiplying the potential number of beneficiaries by the highest average actual duration experienced in the 109 consecutive 12-month periods in the 10 years ending on September 30; and (d) The potential maximum annual benefits payable found by multiplying the potential annual number of weeks of benefits payable by the average payment made to beneficiaries for weeks of total unemployment in the 12 months ending on September 30.

8. The Administrator shall issue an individual statement, itemizing benefits charged during the 12-month period ending on the computation date, total benefit charges, total contributions paid, reserve balance and the rate of contributions to apply for that calendar year, for each employer whose account is in active status on the records of the Division on January 1 of each year and whose account is chargeable with benefit payments on the computation date of that year.

9. If an employer transfers its trade or business, or a portion thereof, to another employer: (a) And there is substantially common ownership, management or control of the employers, the experience record attributable to the transferred trade or business must be transferred to the employer to whom the trade or business is transferred. The rates of both employers must be recalculated, and the recalculated rates become effective on the date of the transfer of the trade or business. If the Administrator determines, following the transfer of the experience record pursuant to this paragraph, that the sole or primary purpose of the transfer of the trade or business was to obtain a reduced liability for contributions, the Administrator shall combine the experience rating records of the employers involved into a single account and assign a single rate to the account. (b) And there is no substantially common ownership, management or control of the employers, the experience record of an employer may be transferred to a successor employer as of the effective date of the change of ownership if: (1) The successor employer acquires the entire or a severable and distinct portion of the business, or substantially all of the assets, of the employer; (2) The successor employer notifies the Division of the acquisition in writing within 90 days after the date of the acquisition; (3) The employer and successor employer submit a joint application to the Administrator requesting the transfer; and (4) The joint application is approved by the Administrator. The joint application must be submitted within 1 year after the date of issuance by the Division of official notice of eligibility to transfer. (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), a transfer of the experience record must not be completed if the Administrator determines that the acquisition was effected solely or primarily to obtain a more favorable contribution rate. (d) Any liability to the Division for unpaid contributions, interest or forfeit attributable to the transferred trade or business must be transferred to the successor employer. The percentage of liability transferred must be the same as the percentage of the experience record transferred.

10. Whenever an employer has paid no wages in employment for 8 consecutive calendar quarters following the last calendar quarter in which the employer paid wages for employment, the Administrator shall terminate the employer's experience rating account, and the account must not thereafter be used in any rate computation.

11. The Administrator may adopt reasonable accounting methods to account for those employers which are in a category for providing reimbursement in lieu of contributions.

12. To the extent allowed by federal law, the Administrator may, by regulation, suspend, modify, amend or waive any requirement of this section for the duration of a state of emergency or declaration of disaster proclaimed pursuant to NRS 414.070 and for any additional period of time during which the emergency or disaster directly affects the requirement of this section if: (a) The Administrator determines the action is: (1) In the best interest of the Division, this State or the general health, safety and welfare of the citizens of this State; or (2) Necessary to comply with instructions received from the Department of Labor; and (b) The action of the Administrator is approved by the Governor.

This subsection is applicable whether the money paid to the employee or the dependents of the employee by the employer is classified as a gift, a settlement or otherwise.

3. When an injured employee incurs an injury for which compensation is payable pursuant to the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, or chapter 617 of NRS and which was caused under circumstances entitling the employee, or in the case of death the dependents of the employee, to receive proceeds under his or her employer's policy of uninsured or underinsured vehicle coverage: (a) The injured employee, or in the case of death the dependents of the employee, may take proceedings to recover those proceeds, but the amount of compensation the injured employee or the dependents of the employee are entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, or chapter 617 of NRS , including any future compensation, must be reduced by the amount of proceeds received. (b) If an injured employee, or in the case of death the dependents of the employee, receive compensation pursuant to the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, or chapter 617 of NRS , the insurer, or in the case of claims involving the Uninsured Employers' Claim Account or a subsequent injury account the Administrator, is subrogated to the rights of the injured employee or the dependents of the employee to recover proceeds under the employer's policy of uninsured or underinsured vehicle coverage. The insurer and the Administrator are not subrogated to the rights of an injured employee or the dependents of the employee under a policy of uninsured or underinsured vehicle coverage purchased by the employee. (c) Any provision in the employer's policy of uninsured or underinsured vehicle coverage which has the effect of: (1) Limiting the rights of the injured employee or the dependents of the employee to recover proceeds under the policy because of the receipt of any compensation pursuant to the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, or chapter 617 of NRS ; (2) Limiting the rights of subrogation of the insurer or Administrator provided by paragraph (b); or (3) Excluding coverage which inures to the direct or indirect benefit of the insurer or Administrator, is void.

In any action or proceedings taken by the insurer or the Administrator pursuant to this section, evidence of the amount of compensation, accident benefits and other expenditures which the insurer, the Uninsured Employers' Claim Account or a subsequent injury account have paid or become obligated to pay by reason of the injury or death of the employee is admissible. If in such action or proceedings the insurer or the Administrator recovers more than those amounts, the excess must be paid to the injured employee or the dependents of the employee.

5. In any case where the insurer or the Administrator is subrogated to the rights of the injured employee or of the employee’s dependents as provided in subsection 2 or 3, the insurer or the Administrator has a lien upon the total proceeds of any recovery from some person other than the employer, whether the proceeds of such recovery are by way of judgment, settlement or otherwise. The injured employee, or in the case of his or her death the dependents of the employee, are not entitled to double recovery for the same injury, notwithstanding any act or omission of the employer or a person in the same employ which was a direct or proximate cause of the employee's injury.

6. The lien provided for pursuant to subsection 1 or 5 includes the total compensation expenditure incurred by the insurer, the Uninsured Employers' Claim Account or a subsequent injury account for the injured employee and the dependents of the employee.

7. An injured employee, or in the case of death the dependents of the employee, or the attorney or representative of the injured employee or the dependents of the employee, shall notify the insurer, or in the case of claims involving the Uninsured Employers' Claim Account or a subsequent injury account the Administrator, in writing before initiating a proceeding or action pursuant to this section.

The attorney or representative of the injured employee or the dependents of the employee and the third-party insurer are jointly and severally liable for any amount to which an insurer is entitled pursuant to this section if the attorney, representative or third-party insurer has knowledge of the lien provided for in this section.

9. An insurer shall not sell its lien to a third-party insurer unless the injured employee or the dependents of the employee, or the attorney or representative of the injured employee or the dependents of the employee, refuses to provide to the insurer information concerning the action against the third party.

10. In any trial of an action by the injured employee, or in the case of his or her death by the dependents of the employee, against a person other than the employer or a person in the same employ, the jury must receive proof of the amount of all payments made or to be made by the insurer or the Administrator. The court shall instruct the jury substantially as follows: Payment of workmen's compensation benefits by the insurer, or in the case of claims involving the Uninsured Employers' Claim Account or a subsequent injury account the Administrator, is based upon the fact that a compensable industrial accident occurred, and does not depend upon blame or fault. If the plaintiff does not obtain a judgment in his or her favor in this case, the plaintiff is not required to repay his or her employer, the insurer or the Administrator any amount paid to the plaintiff or paid on the behalf of the plaintiff by the plaintiff’s employer, the insurer or the Administrator. If you decide that the plaintiff is entitled to judgment against the defendant, you shall find damages for the plaintiff in accordance with the court's instructions on damages and return your verdict in the plaintiff's favor in the amount so found without deducting the amount of any compensation benefits paid to or for the plaintiff. The law provides a means by which any compensation benefits will be repaid from your award.

11. To calculate an employer's premium, the employer's account with the private carrier must be credited with an amount equal to that recovered by the private carrier from a third party pursuant to this section, less the private carrier's share of the expenses of litigation incurred in obtaining the recovery, except that the total credit must not exceed the amount of compensation actually paid or reserved by the private carrier on the injured employee's claim.

12. As used in this section, “ third-party insurer ” means an insurer that issued to a third party who is liable for damages pursuant to subsection 2, a policy of liability insurance the proceeds of which are recoverable pursuant to this section. The term includes an insurer that issued to an employer a policy of uninsured or underinsured vehicle coverage.

4. Any lump-sum payment which has been paid on a claim incurred on or after July 1, 1973, must be supplemented if necessary to conform to the provisions of this section.

5. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the total lump-sum payment for disablement must not be less than one-half the product of the average monthly wage multiplied by the percentage of disability. If the claimant received compensation in installment payments for his or her permanent partial disability before electing to receive payment for that disability in a lump sum, the lump-sum payment must be calculated for the remaining payment of compensation.

6. The lump sum payable must be equal to the present value of the compensation awarded, less any advance payment or lump sum previously paid. The present value must be calculated using monthly payments in the amounts prescribed in subsection 8 of NRS 616C.490 and actuarial annuity tables adopted by the Division. The tables must be reviewed annually by a consulting actuary and must be adjusted accordingly on July 1 of each year by the Division using: (a) The most recent unisex “Static Mortality Tables for Defined Benefit Pension Plans” published by the Internal Revenue Service; and (b) The average 30-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for March of the current year as reported by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

7. To calculate the present value of a lump sum payable to a claimant, the insurer shall use the actuarial annuity tables adopted by the Division that are in effect on the date on which the claimant elects payment in a lump sum.

8. If a claimant would receive more money by electing to receive compensation in a lump sum than the claimant would if he or she receives installment payments, the claimant may elect to receive the lump-sum payment.
