Nevada Payday and Semimonthly Pay Requirements

Overview

Unless another provision applies, wages earned before the first of the month are due by 8 a.m. on the 15th, and wages earned before the 16th are due by 8 a.m. on the last day of the month. Employers may pay more frequently than semimonthly.

Exceptions

Certain employers whose principal place of business and payroll preparation are outside Nevada may designate fixed monthly paydays for specified executive, administrative, professional, outside-salesperson, or supervisor roles, subject to collective-bargaining limits.

Practical Steps

• Compare your actual payday schedule to NRS 608.060.
