ANSWER: Nevada is a two-tier minimum wage system. The current Nevada minimum wage rate is $8.75 for employees who receive qualifying health benefits and $9.75 for those that do not receive qualifying health benefits.
As of July 1, 2020, the minimum wage increased by seventy-five cent increments, meaning on July 1, 2022, the Nevada minimum wage will be $9.50.
The yearly increases will cap at $11.00 per hour for the lower-tier rate and $12.00 per hour for the higher-tier rate by July 1, 2024 (Assembly Bill (AB) 456-2019).
