A bill passed in 2019 increases the minimum wage in 75 cent increments every year until July 2024.
Unless otherwise exempted, the wage increase will apply to all Nevada workers, though a two-tier system is in place.
Starting Friday, those offered health benefits will have a minimum wage rate of $9.50, while those not offered health benefits will have a rate of $10.50.
By July 2024, the rate for those with benefits will rise to $11, and the rate for those without benefits will rise to $12.
Daily overtime rates will also increase as a result of the measure.
