Does Nevada have daily overtime?

Yes. Nevada requires daily overtime after 8 hours in a 24-hour period for employees who earn less than 1.5x the state minimum wage; higher earners follow the 40-hour weekly standard. That is on top of the federal baseline, so a Nevada worker can earn overtime even in a week under 40 hours if a single day runs long.

The federal rule that always applies in Nevada

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), covered non-exempt employees in Nevada must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. The math is two steps: overtime rate = regular rate × 1.5, then overtime pay = overtime rate × overtime hours. The authoritative federal reference is the U.S. Department of Labor overtime page. Rules change — confirm anything time-sensitive with Nevada's state labor department before relying on it.

No tax on overtime in Nevada

Overtime has never had a special higher tax rate — it is ordinary income. And under the 2025 federal law commonly called “no tax on overtime,” eligible workers in Nevada can deduct the premium portion of FLSA overtime (the extra 0.5x) from federal taxable income, up to annual caps, for tax years 2025 through 2028. Because it is federal, it applies in Nevada the same as every other state. Estimate what it is worth with the no tax on overtime calculator.
