On July 1, 2021, the minimum wage will be raised to $9.75 for employers that do not offer health benefits and to $8.75 for employers that do offer health benefits. The poster also details the increases scheduled through July 1, 2024.

• Nevada Unemployment Compensation Poster: This poster outlines the benefits payable to workers who are totally or partially unemployed. It also outlines the benefits payable to workers who are temporarily disabled due to a non-work-related illness, injury, or other medical condition. This poster explains how workers can file for unemployment insurance and disability insurance and who pays for these benefits.

It details inspection and complaint processes as well as the provision of citations and penalties for Nevada OSHA violations.

Employees must provide written notice within 7 days of the accident or occupational disease. This poster outlines the process for claiming compensation, disability, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation services, and travel expenses. The employer must also complete the bottom of this poster with the contact information for its workers’ compensation carrier.

Employers are prohibited from taking adverse action against an employee or prospective employee based on the results of the test or a refusal to take the lie detector test.
• Nevada Domestic Violence Victims Bulletin Poster: As detailed in this poster, Nevada employees who have been employed for at least 90 days by their employer and are affected as a victim of domestic violence, either directly or as a family or household member, are entitled to no more than 160 hours of paid or unpaid leave in one 12-month period. The poster details how the hours of leave may be used and how the domestic violence leave interacts with leave permitted under the FMLA.

Employers with fewer than 50 employees who determine that compliance will pose an undue hardship may be exempt from these requirements; in that case, the employer may meet with the employee to agree on a reasonable alternative.

Nevada employers in various industries may have additional labor law posting requirements. They may also have an obligation to post in multiple languages, depending on the composition of their workforce.
