Nevada rule applied to your numbers
Does Nevada require the payout?
Only if the policy provides it
Nevada does not require payout of unused leave when a job ends. The mandatory paid-leave statute says an employer may, but is not required to, pay out unused leave at separation; anything more depends on the employer's own policy.
What that time is worth

Enter your hours and rate above to put a dollar figure on the unused time.
Where the rule comes from
Nev. Rev. Stat. §608.0197; §§608.020-608.040 (final wage timing)
The fine print
If an employee is rehired within 90 days after a separation that was not voluntary, previously unused paid-leave hours must be reinstated. A policy or contract that promises payout is enforceable, and final-wage timing rules apply to amounts owed.
Your employer's policy is the document that decides

In Nevada, what the handbook, offer letter, or contract says about unused vacation at separation is what controls. Read it before counting on a payout, and keep a copy: a promise in writing is what makes the amount collectible.

Enter your unused hours and your rate to see the Nevada rule on your numbers.

When the final check itself is due is a separate deadline: the Nevada final paycheck checker shows it for a quit and for a firing.

Informational only, not legal advice. Sick leave, commissions, and bonuses follow different rules, and collective bargaining agreements can change the answer. For the timing rules and citations on the check itself, see the Nevada final paycheck reference; this record is cited to Nev. Rev. Stat. §608.0197; §§608.020-608.040 (final wage timing).

How the Nevada rule works

Nevada does not require payout of unused leave when a job ends. The mandatory paid-leave statute says an employer may, but is not required to, pay out unused leave at separation; anything more depends on the employer's own policy. If an employee is rehired within 90 days after a separation that was not voluntary, previously unused paid-leave hours must be reinstated. A policy or contract that promises payout is enforceable, and final-wage timing rules apply to amounts owed.

This checker states the rule and prices your unused hours; it is informational only and not legal advice, and it does not decide whether your employer owes you. The other half of the question, when the final check itself must arrive, is covered by the Nevada final paycheck checker and the Nevada final paycheck reference.
