Nevada minimum wage rules
The Nevada Constitution (Article 15, Section 16, as amended in 2022) sets the minimum wage at $12.00 an hour from July 1, 2024, or the federal minimum wage if that is higher, and tips cannot be credited toward it. NRS 608.250, as printed on the Legislature's page, lists two rates from July 1, 2024: $11.00 if the employer offers health benefits and $12.00 if it does not. The two texts differ, and HoursReady does not choose between them. None of these amounts is calculated.
