What is a Nevada Employment Contract?

A Nevada employment contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and a worker that the employer is paying for services, like an employee.

An employment contract outlines the terms and conditions surrounding employment including issues like:

  • Employee duties
  • Compensation
  • Company policy
  • Causes for termination

Most employment contracts include non-compete clauses, non-disclosure clauses, and liability clauses, but the enforcement of these restrictive covenants will vary by state and court discretion.

Are Employment Contracts Enforceable in Nevada?

Employment contracts are enforceable in Nevada, but contracts that include restrictive covenants are heavily regulated and must adhere to strict guidelines to be enforceable.

Nevada is one of many states that has banned the use of non-compete agreements for employees who are paid hourly wages. Other requirements that must be met include:

  1. The agreement must be supported by valuable consideration
  2. The restrictions are no greater than necessary to protect the employer
  3. Undue hardship is not imposed on the employee

What Are the Legal Requirements for Nevada Employment Contracts?

The legal requirements for Nevada employment contracts (not including restrictive covenants) are very lenient. Employment contracts can be written or oral and they do not require signatures of both parties.

Nevada recognizes implied employment contracts which are contracts created based on the actions and representations of the parties. For example, if an employee comes to work everyday at a certain time and an employer regularly pays them a consistent wage, an implied contract is created based on conduct.

Types of Nevada Employment Contracts

There are several types of employment contracts that you may see in Nevada. These include:

  • Permanent employment. Used when an employee is hired to work for a company in a permanent position.
  • Fixed term employment contract. Used for short-term employees whose employment will end at the completion of the task or project.
  • Independent contractor . A contract for work to be completed by a party who is not an employee of the company.

What's position hierarchy in an employment contract?

I am a potential employee considering a job offer from a company. I have received a copy of the employment contract, but I am confused about the position hierarchy outlined in it. Specifically, I am unsure of the differences between the various job titles and the roles and responsibilities associated with each one. I would like to know more about the position hierarchy in the contract to better understand the job I am considering.

N'kia N.

Answered Jun 2, 2023

Position hierarchy may vary, as it is typically based on such factors as industry standards, company size, and internal policies. Before accepting an employment offer, a prospective employee should have a clear understanding of where the proposed position stands in the prospective employer's position hierarchy, as well as how the hierarchy affects the duties and responsibilities for that position. If the position hierarchy in a proposed employment contract or an employment offer letter is confusing, the prospective employee should seek clarification from the proposed employer.

What's paid time off in an employment contract?

I am a recent college graduate and I am in the process of negotiating an employment contract with a large company. I am trying to make sure I understand the terms of the contract, including the paid time off that is offered. I am hoping to get a better understanding of what's included in the paid time off section of the contract so I can make an informed decision about the offer.

Joseph M.

Answered May 12, 2023

Paid Time Off (PTO) is essentially days (or even hours) that the employee is not required to work but the employer still pays the employee for those hours. It can be awarded in a lump sum in advance, or earned and accumulated over time, dependent on the terms of the employment agreement. PTO may be granted in addition to or in lieu of vacation days, sick days, etc, again depending on the unique employment agreement.

Do I have to provide my employees with a paycheck stub?

We find employee pay stubs laying around in the warehouse and left in company vehicles

Diane D.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

Florida doesn't require employers to provide a pay stub with a paycheck, nor do they have to offer them in electronic format. Pay stub legislation in Florida instead defaults to federal laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Are employment contracts confidential?

I'm considering taking a second job but would not want my first employer to know. Is there any way for them to find out? I am not sure what all of the language in the contract says and may need to get it reviewed, but I wanted to see if these contracts are kept confidential so that my employer never finds out.

Donya G.

Answered Nov 1, 2022

Typically, yes. There s generally a confidential section in your employment agreement. Is there something specific you are worried about? You can have an attorney give a consultation, review the agreement and advise you. I can do that for you. You can connect with me through the website. Thanks Donya Gordon
