July 1, 2024, marks the end of Nevada's two-tiered, annually increased, minimum wage. Effective July 1, 2024, the Nevada minimum wage will increase to $12.00 per hour, regardless of the whether the employer offers employees qualifying health benefits. The July 1, 2024, wage increase is the culmination of Ballot Question 2 from the November 2022 election, in which Nevada voters approved the state's return to a single minimum wage, set at $12.00 per hour. Ballot Question 2—which is now codified at Art. 15 § 16 of the Nevada Constitution—puts an end to Nevada's former two-tiered minimum wage, which allowed employers to pay a lower minimum wage if they offered employees qualifying health benefits. The July 1, 2024, wage increase also closes the book on Nevada's automatic annual minimum wage increases, which went into effect every July 1 from 2019 through 2024.
