Nevada mandates working papers for minors under 16, restricts hours, and prohibits hazardous work.
Nevada law imposes strict regulations on the employment of minors to ensure their safety, education, and well-being. These rules govern the age at which minors can work, the types of occupations they can hold, the hours they can work, and require specific documentation for those under 16 years of age.
Minor Employment Rules
Working papers required for under-16 (court permission OR signed permit). School-day and hour limits for under-16. Hazardous occupations prohibited under 18.
What those rules do as a Nevada shift is created.
Teambridge automatically applies Nevada's minor employment rules at every stage of the scheduling and payroll process, ensuring compliance without manual oversight. This includes flagging potential violations for age, hours, and prohibited occupations.
Preventing Prohibited Tasks
If a minor under 18 is assigned to a hazardous occupation, Teambridge will block the assignment and alert the manager to the violation, citing NRS 609.190.
Hour Limit Alerts
For minors under 16, Teambridge flags schedules that exceed 3 hours on a school day or 8 hours on a non-school day, or 18 hours in a school week, per NRS 609.185.

Nevada's stringent rules for employing minors.
Nevada law establishes specific requirements for the employment of individuals under 18 years of age, with particular emphasis on those under 16. These rules cover documentation, permissible hours, and types of work.
NRS Chapter 609: Employment of Minors
Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 609 outlines the comprehensive framework for minor employment, including age restrictions, hours of labor, and prohibited occupations.
Working Papers for Minors Under 16
NRS 609.195 mandates that employers obtain a work permit from the school district or a court order for any minor under 16 years of age before they can be employed. This permit verifies the minor's age and ensures that the employment will not interfere with their education or health. Without proper documentation, employing a minor under 16 is prohibited.
Hour and Occupation Restrictions
For minors under 16, NRS 609.185 restricts work to a maximum of 3 hours on any school day, 8 hours on a non-school day, and 18 hours in any school week. Additionally, minors under 18 are prohibited from engaging in occupations deemed hazardous by state and federal law, as specified in NRS 609.190. These hazardous occupations include, but are not limited to, mining, manufacturing, and operating certain types of machinery, designed to protect minors from dangerous work environments.
Teambridge ensures seamless compliance with Nevada's minor employment rules.
From initial onboarding to daily scheduling and payroll, Teambridge integrates Nevada's minor employment regulations into every operational step, providing automated checks and alerts.
Age and Documentation Verification
During employee onboarding, Teambridge prompts for age verification and required work permits for minors. If a minor under 16 is identified, the system flags the need for appropriate documentation (NRS 609.195) before they can be scheduled.
Real-time Hour & Occupation Checks
As managers create schedules, Teambridge automatically checks for compliance with minor hour limits (NRS 609.185) and prevents assignments to prohibited hazardous occupations (NRS 609.190) based on the minor's age. Alerts are issued for any potential violations.
Audit Trail & Reporting
Teambridge maintains a detailed audit trail of all shifts worked by minors, ensuring that actual hours align with legal limits. Comprehensive reports are available for compliance audits, demonstrating adherence to all relevant Nevada statutes.
