Nevada Law
Immediately upon discharge
Nevada has strict final pay requirements. For involuntary terminations (firing, layoff), payment must be immediate. Failure to comply can result in penalties of up to 30 days' wages. Employers should have procedures in place for immediate final pay processing.
Nevada treats earned vacation and PTO as wages. Once accrued, it cannot be forfeited through 'use-it-or-lose-it' policies. All accrued, unused vacation must be paid at separation regardless of reason for termination.
