Nevada overtime calculator (one day)
Type one day's start, end and break. HoursPad splits the day using the daily line in NRS 608.018. It does not add up the week.
Not legal, tax or payroll advice. General information only; results are estimates. Read the full notice.
Type a start time and an end time.
Estimate based on what you entered. Not legal or payroll advice; check it against your employer's records.
This tool works on one day only. It does not add up the week, so it does not work out weekly overtime.
Example: 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a 30-minute unpaid break is 10 h 30 min (10.50 hours). With the daily line applied, HoursPad estimates 8 h at the regular rate and 2 h 30 min at 1.5 times.
Estimate based on what you entered. Not legal or payroll advice; check it against your employer's records.
How to use it
- Type the Start time and End time of one workday.
- Type the unpaid break in minutes in "Unpaid break (minutes)", if any.
- Leave the daily-line box checked to apply the daily line, or uncheck it to apply none (see the quote below).
- Optional: type a rate in "Hourly rate in dollars (optional)" to see an estimate of pay before taxes for that day.
What the Nevada statute says
- NRS 608.018(1) sets 1 1/2 times the regular wage rate for more than 8 hours in a workday or more than 40 hours in a scheduled week, for an employee paid at a rate less than 1 1/2 times the NRS 608.250 minimum rate.
- NRS 608.018(2) sets 1 1/2 times for more than 40 hours in a scheduled week for an employee paid at a rate not less than 1 1/2 times that minimum rate.
- NRS 608.018(3) lists employees to whom subsections 1 and 2 do not apply. Read that list on the official page; HoursPad does not decide whether any of them fits a job.
The statute text is on the Nevada Legislature's site. The NRS 608.250 minimum rate is set elsewhere and changes, so no dollar figure is shown here; your employer or the Nevada Labor Commissioner's office can confirm which part of the statute fits a job.
Meal and rest breaks in Nevada, according to the U.S. Department of Labor
The U.S. Department of Labor publishes tables of state meal period and rest period requirements. Both are dated January 1, 2023 on its site. Here is what they say for Nevada, in the table's own words. Your employer or the Nevada labor department can confirm what applies to a job today.
- Meal period table: “½ hour, if work is for 8 continuous hours.”
- Rest period table: “Paid 10-minute rest period for each 4 hours worked or major fraction thereof; as practicable, in middle of each work period.”
Questions
What does the checkbox do?
The statute has one rule with a daily line for employees paid below 1 1/2 times the minimum rate set in NRS 608.250, and one with a weekly line only for employees paid at or above it. Checked, the tool applies the daily line. Unchecked, it applies none. HoursPad does not know which one fits a job.
Does this add up the whole week?
No. It works on one day. The weekly line in the statute is quoted below but is not calculated here.
What about a schedule of four 10-hour days?
The statute mentions a mutual agreement for a scheduled 10 hours per day for 4 calendar days within a scheduled week. This tool does not model that. Read the wording below or ask the Nevada Labor Commissioner's office.
Is the result a pay calculation?
No. It is an estimate from the times you type and the box you check.
