All Nevada employees have the right to earn overtime. Employees who earn less than 1.5 times the state minimum wage have the right to receive overtime pay. Overtime kicks in whenever an employee works more than eight hours in a 24-hour period or more than 40 hours in a workweek. However, there are some exceptions, and not all employees are covered by overtime laws in Nevada.  Not following work time limit regulations could result in: Work injury that requires medical treatment Premises liability cases for injured employees Slip and fall accidents Driving or trucking accidents due to exhaustion Higher blood pressure Increased mental issues Heavy alcohol consumption Higher suicide rates Decreased productivity Workers’ compensation insurance can provide some assistance for injured workers who cannot perform their job and pays death benefits to families of employees killed on the job. All Nevada employers1 are required to get worker's compensation insurance.  Vocational rehabilitation can help people return to work after an injury or occupational disease and limits long-term disability reliance on insurance companies.
