I work with a company that i can't name at the moment but is it unlawful to not pay holiday pay for any holidays? We get regular time on christmas, thanksgiving, new years, fourth of july etc. etc. etc. Also any worker that makes over $9.00 an hour does not get over time. Whether they worked a 10 hour shift or over a 40 hour week they don't get overtime. Yet all other workers get over time after 8 hour shifts and after a 40 hour week. If this is legal well I guess I will just have to stand by and let it go. But if its not legal maybe someone can give me some advice so that I can take the proper measures neccesary. Thank you all for your time.

I can understand your frustration. You may want to post this under labor and employment to get a better response. I would suggest that you contract your local labor board. They can explain the law and what steps you can take.

Look at Chapter 608 of the Nevada Revised Statutes

Specifically, look at:

NRS 608.018 Compensation for overtime: Requirement; exceptions.
