Minors, students and training wages: who may be paid less than the rate on this page
Nevada's minimum wage of $12 per hour applies to all employees in the state unless a specific exemption allows a lower rate. Certain categories of workers, such as minors, students engaged in learner or apprentice programs, and individuals in authorized training programs, may qualify for a subminimum wage under state or federal law. These exemptions are narrow and do not apply to most workers in Nevada. If you believe you are being paid a subminimum wage and are unsure whether an exemption properly applies to your situation, you should consult the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner. Employers who claim an exemption must be able to demonstrate that the worker genuinely falls within a recognized exemption category. Workers who do not meet all requirements of an exemption must receive the full $12 minimum wage.
THE ABOVE MINIMUM WAGE RATE SHALL APPLY TO ALL EMPLOYEES IN THE STATE OF NEVADA UNLESS OTHERWISE EXEMPTED.
