Questions about Nevada roofer pay
What is the roofer prevailing wage in Clark County?
$55.43 an hour, fringe benefits included (one rate, no separate base wage), under Labor Commissioner 2026-2027 rates (Oct 1, 2026). Overtime and every roofer classification in Clark County.
Does roofer prevailing wage pay overtime in Nevada?
The worker gets at least 1½ times the prevailing rate for hours over 40 in a week or over 8 in a workday; an agreed 4×10 schedule is the exception, and union agreements that pay overtime that way govern instead (NRS 338.020(3)–(4)). Many crafts say overtime is calculated on the base rate, which Nevada doesn't publish, so we don't compute overtime dollars.
Do apprentice roofers get this rate?
Nevada's region schedules list journeyman, foreman and general foreman rates only. Apprentices recorded under NRS chapter 610 are exempt from the prevailing wage sections (NRS 338.080(1)) and are paid per their registered program's wage scale; check the program or the Labor Commissioner (702-486-2650, publicworks@labor.nv.gov).
