What Each Nevada Law Covers

NRS 613.405: Filing with NERC

A person injured by specified discrimination, wage-discussion, public criminal-history, or pregnancy-accommodation violations may file a complaint with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission.

NRS 613.412: Right-to-sue request after 180 days

A complainant may request a right-to-sue notice after a qualifying discrimination charge has been pending for at least 180 days. The notice states that a district-court action generally must be filed within 90 days after receipt.

NRS 613.420: Court action after a notice

After an unfavorable NERC decision, the Commission issues information and a right-to-sue notice. A claimant generally has 90 days after receiving the notice to seek appropriate relief in district court.

NRS 613.430: Limitation periods

The statute contains a 180-day period measured from the complained-of act and a 90-day right-to-sue period, with tolling while a complaint is pending before NERC or the EEOC to the extent consistent with federal law.

NRS 613.432: Available relief

A court finding a covered unlawful employment practice may award legal or equitable relief comparable to relief available under Title VII when the employee is protected by Title VII or NRS 613.330.

NRS 613.435: Age-discrimination appeals

Appellate courts must use an expedited briefing and argument schedule for certain age-discrimination appeals, subject to extensions or later hearings for good cause.

Important Limits

Administrative and court deadlines can overlap and are easy to miscalculate.
The correct filing agency and deadline depend on the claim and employer.
A right-to-sue notice does not itself prove discrimination.

Evidence That May Matter

A dated chronology and the adverse action
The filed charge and agency correspondence
The right-to-sue notice and proof of receipt
