According to KOLO TV, Nevada Labor Commissioner Michael Tanchek recently released the annual bulletins for the state's minimum wage and daily overtime requirements, which will become effective as of this summer. Minimum wage must be recalculated each year in accordance with the 2006 Minimum Wage Amendment to the Nevada Constitution. The calculation is based on either the amount of increases in the federal minimum wage over $5.15 per hour or the cumulative increase in the cost of living, depending on which is larger.

This year, minimum wage in the state will stay the same: $7.25 for employees who receive health benefits and $8.25 for those who do not. The threshold for daily overtime will also remain unchanged.

"Nevada’s daily overtime requirement is tied to the minimum wage," Tanchek said, as reported by the news source. "Since the minimum wage is not increasing this year, the daily overtime will remain the same as well."

Nevada is one of six states that have a daily overtime requirement in addition to a weekly one, although Senator James Settelmeyer (R-Gardnerville) recently proposed a bill that would remove the daily provisions, according to the Nevada News Bureau.
