Request for Employment Records: Under Nevada law, terminated employees have the right to submit a written request to obtain a copy of their personnel files. Nevada is an "at-will" employment state.1 This means that employers are free to fire employees for almost any reason, whether reasonable or not. Is the employee in a protected class or has the employee filed a complaint or charge? Within the State of California, employment may be terminated at the will of either party. Nevada is an employment at will state. And that means that both the employer and employee can terminate the employment if they wish. California employees cannot be compelled to litigate claims against their employers in a different state. If an employer fails to pay a terminated employee within three (3) days, then the employer must continue paying the employee normal wages for up to a month. California law states that an employee who is fired should receive their final paycheck immediately.
