Millions Recovered
For Unpaid Workers
Nevada has DAILY overtime — workers earning less than $18/hour get time-and-a-half after 8 hours in a single day. We recover unpaid overtime for gaming, hospitality, and construction workers.
No fees unless we win. We only get paid when you do.
Get an estimate of what you're owed in just 60 seconds. This calculator is based on federal FLSA laws and includes liquidated damages (double your unpaid wages).
Nevada is one of only 4 states with daily overtime. If you earn less than 1.5× minimum wage ($18/hr), you're entitled to time-and-a-half after 8 hours in a single day — even if you work less than 40 hours that week. Nevada also has no tip credit.
| Provision | Nevada Law | Federal FLSA | Which Applies? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum Wage | $12.00/hour | $7.25/hour | NV (higher) |
| Tipped Wage | $12.00/hour (no tip credit) | $2.13/hour | NV (much higher) |
| Daily Overtime | 1.5× after 8 hrs/day (if earning < $18/hr) | None | NV (unique) |
| Weekly Overtime | 1.5× after 40 hrs/week | 1.5× after 40 hrs/week | Same |
| Meal/Rest Breaks | Required (30 min meal, 10 min rest) | Not required | NV (mandatory) |
Dealers, housekeeping, and floor staff often miss daily OT when working 10-12 hour shifts. Many casinos wrongly claim employees earn too much to qualify.
Even with no tip credit, restaurants and bars violate NV law by requiring tip sharing with managers or including non-service employees in pools.
Las Vegas construction boom means widespread violations — unpaid travel between sites, mandatory meetings, and day rates without proper OT.
Room quotas forcing 10+ hour days without paying daily overtime. Auto-deducted meal breaks that workers never actually receive.
Distribution centers near Las Vegas and Reno using piece-rate pay without calculating overtime properly on long shift days.
Gold and lithium mining operations in Northern Nevada with extended shifts and misclassification of equipment operators as exempt.

Recover all unpaid minimum wage and overtime — including daily OT for each day you worked over 8 hours.
Federal FLSA provides liquidated damages equal to your unpaid wages — effectively doubling your recovery.
Both Nevada and federal law require employers to pay your attorney fees if you win.
A worker at $15/hr doing five 10-hour days earns 2 hours of daily OT per day = 10 extra OT hours per week. That's $22.50/hr × 10 = $225/week more than under federal law alone.
Nevada is one of only 4 states with daily overtime. Combined with no tip credit and mandatory breaks, NV workers often have stronger claims than federal law alone provides.
💰 Nevada's daily OT can dramatically increase your recovery
While Paul M. Botros is licensed in Texas and Florida, we successfully help Nevada workers recover unpaid wages in federal and state courts.
Paul leads every case personally — strategy, negotiations, and courtroom work. Outside Texas and Florida, he appears by pro hac vice admission (the standard court permission that lets an out-of-state attorney litigate your case) and works alongside local counsel who handle state-specific procedure. This is how national wage-and-hour cases are litigated everywhere — your case is never simply referred out.
