Final pay and PTO in Nevada
Under Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 608.020 and 608.030, final paycheck deadlines depend strictly on the type of separation: if an employee is discharged, fired, or laid off, all final wages are due immediately. If an employee resigns or quits, final wages must be paid on or before the next regularly scheduled payday or within 7 days, whichever occurs earlier. Failure to pay wages on time constitutes a wage payment violation that can be filed with the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner. If final pay is withheld, employees can recover unpaid wages and statutory waiting time penalties of up to 30 days' pay.
Your final paycheck combines any regular wages you earned but were not yet paid with your accrued PTO payout where it is owed. Use-it-or-lose-it forfeiture of earned time is allowed in Nevada, and the window to claim unpaid final wages runs for 2 years. This calculator pre-selects Nevada so the state tax estimate is built in.
