Key Nevada Statutes
All employers with 1 or more employees must provide workers' compensation coverage. No minimum employee threshold. Coverage can be through a private carrier, self-insurance (certified by Division of Insurance), or an association of self-insured employers.
TTD benefits are 66 2/3% of the employee's average monthly wage. Maximum monthly benefit is approximately $5,630 (FY 2024–2025), calculated as 66.6% of 150% of the state average monthly wage.
Exclusions include licensed real estate agents, voluntary ski patrollers receiving only meals/lodging/lift access, amateur sports officials receiving nominal fees, and independent contractors meeting the "independent enterprise" test.
