From the Nevada Labor Commissioner's website:
Q. When does my employer have to pay me after I quit or have been fired?

A. When you are fired or laid off, wages and compensation earned and unpaid when discharged become due and payable immediately. If you quit, wages and compensation must be paid no later than the day on which you would have been regularly been paid or within 7 days, whichever is earlier.

Filing A Claim
Q. I haven't been paid. What should I do?

A. First, ask the employer for what you are owed. Then, if you do not receive payment, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Labor Commissioner in Las Vegas or Carson City. For a copy of the wage claim form, click here.

Q. What information should I bring?

A. Bring copies of check stubs, time records, receipts, the names and addresses of all managers, supervisors, owners, or officers of the employer and any other information that might be helpful in proving your claim, including the names of any witnesses that can testify on your behalf.

Q. When will I receive the wages owed?

A. Some claims are settled immediately, but others take longer or are set for a hearing to resolve them, assuming they can be resolved. If your employer closes, files bankruptcy, has no liquid assets, or these assets are secured by banks, credit unions, etc., these are factors that may negatively impact your ability to recover wages believed due and owing.

Q. Can I call the Office of the Labor Commissioner about my claim?

A. We want to devote our time to trying to recover your wages. If we need information, we will contact you. If you have information vital to your claim or if you receive payment directly from the employer, please contact our office.

Q. What happens to my claim now?

A. In most cases, if the employer pays your claim, we will notify you when the funds are available and you may pick up the check at the office. We will then close the case.

If the employer responds to your claim, you will receive a copy of the reply and will have the opportunity to answer the employer's comments. An investigator will review the information with both parties to determine if wages are due. The investigator may assist you and the employer to reach a compromise settlement.

If the employer does not pay your claim or respond to your letters of demand, the case will go to an investigator who will try to resolve the issue. A hearing may be held to determine the outcome of your claim. If your claim is determined not to be valid, you will be notified and we will close your file.

Q. What can I do to help?

A. Your patience and cooperation is requested as the process required by law takes time. Promptly respond to all inquiries received from the Office of the Labor Commissioner. Keep the office advised of any address or telephone number changes. Remember that you are responsible for substantiating the wage claim.

If you have any additional information which you consider relevant to the claim, please contact the Office of the Labor Commissioner.
