This is a class action on behalf of hourly paid employees for violations of Nevada’s daily overtime law for shift jamming. In Nevada, under NRS 608.018, employees who earn less than 1 and ½ times the minimum wage and who work more than eight (8) hours in a day must be paid their overtime premium rate for all hours worked over eight (8) in a 24-hour period. Thus, an employee who works a shift with less than 16 hours between the end of one shift and the beginning of the next shift (“jammed shift”) must be paid overtime premium pay for any hours over eight. Plaintiff seeks payment for the wages owed, waiting time penalties, and injunctive relief.
On May 16, 2024, Defendant removed this case to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. The case is presently stayed while the Parties participate in individual arbitration.
If you work in Nevada and earn less than 1 and ½ times minimum wage, who worked more than eight (8) hours in a day and/or were required to work a shift with less than 16 hours between the end of one shift and the beginning of the next, please get in touch with Thierman Buck, LLP immediately to discuss your rights.
