Meal and Rest Breaks Lawyer in Las Vegas

Nevada generally requires a 30-minute meal period after eight continuous hours and paid 10-minute rest breaks for each four hours worked — with important exceptions.

Jonathan D. Roven represents Nevada employees — not employers — in meal and rest breaks disputes across Las Vegas and Clark County.

Warning Signs

Working through lunch while “clocked out”
No rest breaks on long shifts
Pressure to skip breaks during busy casino or restaurant rushes
Retaliation for asking about break rights

Nevada and Federal Protections

NRS 608.019 and related regulations set meal and rest rules. Some single-employee worksites and CBA settings are treated differently.

What To Do Next

Log missed breaks by date
Note whether you were relieved of all duties
Request compliance in writing
Consult counsel about wage claims tied to break violations
