Nevada requires employers to give applicants the wage or salary range for a position automatically after an interview, under SB 293, effective October 1, 2021. Current employees who apply for a promotion or transfer and then interview for it or receive an offer can request the range for that position. Enforcement is through the Nevada Labor Commissioner.
Requirement Applies When Penalty for Non-Compliance
Pay range on request or before an offer The law applies to public and private employers in Nevada and to employment agencies, with no minimum number of employees. The Labor Commissioner may impose an administrative penalty of up to $5,000 per violation and may recover the costs of the proceeding, including investigative costs and attorney's fees.
