Workers’ compensation in Nevada
Nevada calculates workers’ compensation benefits from an average monthly wage, capped by statute at a multiple of the state average weekly wage, and updates that cap each July on a fiscal-year cycle. Nevada uses a five-day threshold before temporary total disability compensation begins, unlike the seven common elsewhere.
Nevada is on a fiscal-year cycle rather than a calendar one, so its maximum resets in July while most of the schedule resets in January. On a multi-state rate table, that is a second date to diary.
Like Arizona, Nevada works in monthly terms rather than weekly, so its figures are not directly comparable to a weekly maximum without conversion.
We have not yet verified Nevada’s statutory figures against the Division of Industrial Relations directly. The Division publishes them as scanned documents that our normal verification process cannot read, so rather than restate a number we have not confirmed, this page carries none. We confirm them per account.
Warehousing, distribution and hospitality payroll make up most of what we place in the state.

What Nevada law sets
Every figure below was read off the issuing agency or the statute itself, with the date it was read. Rules we have not verified are absent rather than estimated.
| Rule | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting period | 5 daysFive consecutive days, or five cumulative days within a 20-day period. Where incapacity reaches that threshold, compensation is computed from the date of injury rather than from the sixth day. | Nevada Revised Statutes 616C.400 — Minimum duration of incapacityRead 2026-08-27 |
