Nevada Labor Compliance
Nevada labor laws include specific regulations that employers in the restaurant industry must follow to ensure fair scheduling and compliance.
7shifts reflects these requirements so you can stay compliant without manual tracking, including 7shifts' updated support for Nevada's rolling 24-hour daily overtime window.
Important: The updated Nevada overtime calculations will take effect at the start of your company's next pay period after July 16th, 2026. Historical labor data in your account is not affected and will not change.

How Nevada overtime calculations work
7shifts calculates Nevada overtime using a rolling 24-hour window that begins at each employee's clock-in time, not at midnight or any fixed point in the day. This reflects Nevada's overtime obligations.
Daily overtime
Daily overtime applies when an employee works more than 8 hours within a rolling 24-hour window AND their base rate is under $18/hr at the moment they cross the 8-hour mark. Employees earning $18/hr or more are not eligible for daily overtime; only weekly overtime applies to them.
Note: For example, an employee working a 9-hour overnight shift (11 PM to 8 AM) would have 1 hour of daily overtime applied within that rolling window.
An employee works two roles in one day with different pay rates (one above $18/hr and one below): 7shifts applies overtime eligibility based on the rate at the moment the 8-hour threshold is crossed.
Weekly overtime
Employees are entitled to 1.5x their regular rate for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. This applies regardless of hourly earnings.
