Wage Theft Lawyer in Las Vegas
Wage theft includes unpaid overtime, stolen tips, off-the-clock work, illegal deductions, and paystubs that do not match hours worked. A Las Vegas wage theft lawyer helps employees recover what they already earned.
Jonathan D. Roven represents Nevada employees — not employers — in wage theft disputes across Las Vegas and Clark County.
Warning Signs
- Required work before clock-in or after clock-out
- Managers sharing in a tip pool
- Auto-deducted meals you never took
- Pay that is short every period without explanation
Nevada and Federal Protections
NRS Chapter 608 and the FLSA authorize wage claims, and some cases support waiting-time penalties, liquidated damages, or attorney’s fees. Criminal labels do not change the civil recovery path — document hours and pay.
What To Do Next
- Save schedules, timekeeping screenshots, and paystubs
- Write down who directed the unpaid work
- Do not rely on verbal promises to “make it up later”
- Request a wage-theft consultation promptly
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a wage theft lawyer in Las Vegas?
If your job, pay, or working conditions changed after protected activity or because of a protected characteristic, speaking with an employment lawyer early can protect deadlines and evidence.
Is Nevada an at-will state?
Yes. Nevada is generally an at-will employment state, but employers still may not discriminate, retaliate, or violate wage, leave, or contract rules. See our at-will guide.
