Nevada currently does not have a specific “right to disconnect” law that legally protects employees from work-related communications outside of working hours. Across the United States, including Nevada, no state has yet enacted formal right to disconnect legislation as of 2025, although some states like California and New Jersey have proposed bills aiming to establish such rights. These proposed laws generally would require employers to establish workplace policies allowing employees to disengage from work communications during non-working hours without retaliation, except for emergencies or urgent scheduling changes.
Nevada’s approach to work-life balance and labor laws is evolving, but it has not codified a formal legal right for employees to disconnect from work communications outside assigned hours. Existing labor laws do include protections against workplace discrimination and unsafe working conditions, but disconnecting is primarily addressed through employer policies rather than state mandates.
In other jurisdictions, right to disconnect laws aim to protect mental well-being by limiting after-hours work communication, promoting healthier work boundaries. Nevada may see future developments or proposals in this area, following national trends seen in states like California. For now, employer discretion and workplace culture predominantly govern work-life balance in Nevada.
