Office of the Labor Commissioner (OLC) Responsibilities:

The Office of the Labor Commissioner (OLC) is the principal wage and hour and labor regulatory agency for the State of Nevada. The OLC is responsible for ensuring that minimum wage, prevailing wage, and overtime are paid to employees in Nevada, and that employee rest, break, and lunch periods are provided. In addition, the OLC has authority over the employment of minors and other employment practices. It is the vision and mission of this office to resolve labor-related problems in an efficient, professional, and effective manner. This includes educating employers and employees regarding their rights and responsibilities under the law to promote the growth of business in Nevada. The OLC takes enforcement action when necessary to ensure that Nevada’s workers are treated fairly and compensated for all time worked.

Christian Smalls-

Under his leadership, the ALU successfully unionized an Amazon warehouse: a historic victory for workers and a titanic defeat for the behemoth corporation. The epitome of an industry disruptor, he inspires students, workers, and communities to use their voices to envision and build a better future.
