Below are some common workplace law violations employers should understand.
Misclassification of Workers Under Nevada Employment Law
When you contact the Legal Hotline, you receive direct guidance from employment law attorneys familiar Employees classified as “exempt” are not eligible for overtime pay. Because of this, some employers mistakenly classify workers as exempt when they should actually receive overtime compensation.
Determining the correct classification requires analyzing both salary level and job duties.If your organization needs assistance reviewing employee classifications or understanding employment law Nevada compliance requirements, Nevada Association of Employers can help through services such as HR compliance audits and guidance through the HR Hotline.
Working Off the Clock
Employees must be paid for all time spent performing work duties. This includes activities such as:
• Taking work calls outside of scheduled hours
• Performing company errands
• Attending emergency meetings
• Completing tasks after normal working hours
Employers should ensure accurate timekeeping policies are included in their workplace documentation.Reviewing policies through employee handbook review services can help organizations avoid compliance issues related to wage and hour laws under Nevada employment law.
Workplace Safety Requirements
Workplace Safety Requirements
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) requires employers to maintain safe working environments and educate employees about potential workplace hazards.
Examples of safety concerns include:
• Poor lighting
• Unsafe or poorly designed workstations
• Lack of safety guards on equipment
• Failure to address known hazards
Employers who want assistance navigating workplace safety compliance or responding to employee complaints may benefit from guidance through the Legal Hotline or professional workplace investigation services.
Employees who believe their workplace contains hazards can also submit complaints through the OSHA website.
Overtime Pay Under Nevada Employment Law
The Legal Hotline is just one of the many ways Nevada Association of Employers supports businesses Nevada law requires employers to pay employees 150% of their regular wage when they work more than 40 hours in a week.
For example, an employee may work 37 hours in one week and 43 hours the following week. Although the two-week total equals 80 hours, Nevada law still requires overtime pay for the 3 hours worked over 40 in the second week.
Misunderstandings around overtime pay are common. Nevada Association of Employers provides training and compliance guidance to help employers correctly apply wage and hour laws.
Employers can also review their policies using the HR Compliance Checklist, which helps identify potential issues with employment practices.
