One rate, fringe benefits included (Labor Commissioner prints no split) · Union rate · Amendment 01, effective 2026-10-13
On Nevada public works in each of these 13 counties, a flagger working as flag person must be paid at least $55.41 an hour. Labor Commissioner prints one rate with fringe benefits included, so there is no separate base wage.
Labor Commissioner 2026-2027 rates (Oct 1, 2026), effective October 1, 2026. On a bid contract, the rates in effect when bids are opened apply until the contract ends or for 36 months (NRS 338.030(9)). Checked against labor.nv.gov on October 25, 2026.
- Paid as Laborer Group 1A.
One rate, fringe benefits included: $55.41
Labor Commissioner publishes a single hourly figure that already includes fringe benefits. A contractor can pay it all as wages, or pay part as contributions to bona fide benefit plans for the worker, as long as the two add up to at least $55.41. Labor Commissioner doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.
Zone pay on top of this rate: Zone 2 (75 to 150 miles) +$6.00; Zone 3 (150 to 300 miles) +$7.00; Zone 4 (300 miles or over) +$8.00

- The Commissioner issues rates every October 1 for public works bid or awarded October 1 through September 30, and issues amendments when union rates change before then; an amendment takes effect on the date given, or 10 days after issue (NAC 338.040).
