Nevada brings in employers at $225 a quarter, the lowest threshold anywhere
Most states require an employer to pay $1,500 in a quarter, or employ people for 20 weeks, before unemployment coverage attaches. Nevada's threshold is $225 in any quarter — so very small and very short-lived employment is inside the system here when it would not be elsewhere.
- $225 in any quarter brings an employer in. If you did brief or casual work and assumed it could not count, in Nevada it may well have.
- Two alternative qualifying routes. Either 1.5 times high-quarter wages with a quarter of $800 and $400 in the high quarter, or simply wages in three of the four base-period quarters with $400 in the high quarter. The second route rewards spread-out work rather than volume.
- 1/25 of high-quarter wages, with a weekly range of $16 to $631. The $16 minimum ties for the lowest in the country.
- 8 to 26 payable weeks, capped at the lesser of a third of base-period wages or 26 times the weekly amount.
- Part-time work: a third of wages is ignored.
