Every state has different laws when it comes to workers’ compensation. These laws outline workers’ rights as well as their responsibilities, and also detail certain obligations that all employers have to their employees.
In Nevada, an employer is required to hold workers’ compensation insurance if it has one or more employees. When an employee is hurt on the job, that person has seven days to report the injury. At this point, the employer has six days to file a report with the appropriate insurance company. The insurance company then has 30 days to either accept or deny the claim.
