Nevada Daily Overtime Calculator
Nevada’s daily overtime rule only applies below a wage threshold, so two employees on the identical schedule can be owed different amounts.
| Straight time32.00 hrs at 1x | $704.00 |
|---|---|
| Overtime8.00 hrs at 1.5x | $264.00 |
| Double time0.00 hrs at 2x | $0.00 |
| Gross pay | $968.00 |
Time-and-a-half past 8 hours in a day applies only to employees earning less than 1.5x the state minimum wage. Above that threshold, the weekly 40-hour rule alone applies.
Details people get wrong
- Why might my daily overtime not apply?
- Nevada is the only state where daily overtime is conditional on pay. The 8-hour daily rule applies only to employees earning less than 1.5 times the state minimum wage. At or above that, only the weekly 40-hour rule governs — so a raise can remove an employee’s entitlement to daily overtime.
- What is the threshold in dollars?
- It is defined as a multiple of the state minimum wage rather than a fixed figure, so it moves whenever the minimum wage does. Check the current minimum against the Labor Commissioner before relying on a number you were told last year — this is the detail most likely to be stale on other sites.
- Does this calculator apply the threshold automatically?
- No, deliberately. It calculates on the assumption that daily overtime applies. If your employee earns at or above 1.5x the state minimum wage, use the federal setting on the general overtime calculator instead — we would rather you make that determination knowingly than have it silently assumed.
