Nevada Pay Transparency Law: Ranges After the Interview, Not in the Posting
Nevada has had a pay transparency law since October 1, 2021, but it doesn't require a range in the job posting. Employers must share the range with applicants who've interviewed, and can't ask about past pay.
Nevada’s SB 293 is a disclosurelaw, not a posting law. That puts Nevada with Rhode Island in the group of states where a posting without a range isn’t itself a violation, unlike the states with posting requirements. The duty kicks in once an applicant has interviewed.

When Nevada employers must share the range
After an applicant interviews, the employer must give them the wage or salary range or rate for the position. An internal candidate who has applied, interviewed or been offered a promotion or transfer can ask for the range for the new role. In practice this means having a range for every role before interviews start, even though it doesn’t have to appear in the posting.
Why many Nevada employers post a range anyway
A remote posting open to candidates in other states can fall under a posting law elsewhere, such as California’s or Colorado’s. And since the range has to be shared after the interview anyway, posting it up front saves a step. See remote job postings and pay transparency.
The salary-history ban
SB 293 also bars employers from asking about an applicant’s pay history, from relying on it to set pay, and from refusing to interview or hire someone who won’t share it. Application forms and recruiter scripts should leave the question out.
