Key Compliance Areas for Nevada Restaurants
Food Safety & Inspections
Nevada food service establishments must hold a valid health permit. Inspections are unannounced. NvRA members have access to food safety guides, inspection checklists, and ServSafe certification at member rates.
Legal Center →Wage & Hour Compliance
Nevada minimum wage is $12.00/hr (as of July 1, 2024). The two-tier health benefit system was eliminated. Tip pooling rules, overtime thresholds, and paid leave requirements all apply. NvRA members can call the legal hotline with questions.
Legal Hotline →Liquor Licensing
Liquor licensing in Nevada is handled at the county or city level. Clark County, Washoe County, and municipalities each have separate licensing boards. NvRA monitors regulatory changes statewide and secured the AB375 win in 2025.
AB375 Resources →Paid Leave & Scheduling
Nevada employers with 50+ employees must provide 0.01923 hours paid leave per hour worked (approx. 40 hrs/year). Leave accrues from day one, usable after 90 days, for any reason. Smaller employers should verify local ordinances.
Leave FAQ →I-9 & Employment Eligibility
All Nevada employers must complete I-9 verification for every new hire. NvRA provides I-9 guidance and compliance materials as part of your member benefit package. Contact the legal hotline with specific questions.
Resources →Workers’ Compensation
Nevada requires workers’ compensation coverage for all employees. NvRA members have access to exclusive workers’ comp programs that can save $500–$2,000 annually compared to standard market rates.
Member Savings →Compliance Support Is Included
NvRA members receive access to compliance guides, AB 375 alcohol delivery toolkit, food safety resources, I-9 materials, and the member legal hotline — all included with membership.
