Prohibits certain provisions in certain employment contracts or similar agreements. (BDR 53-116)
AB 255 prohibits private employers in Nevada from including clauses in employment or service contracts that require workers (employees or independent contractors) to pay back money if they leave before a set period - covering any "reimbursement," "training costs," or similar fees. It bans employers from requesting, requiring, enforcing, or seeking waivers of such clauses, and makes these provisions void and unenforceable. Workers can sue for actual damages, $5,000 per violation, and attorney fees, while the Labor Commissioner or Attorney General can impose fines up to $5,000 per violation. The law applies to all contracts entered into before, on, or after October 1, 2025, with an exception for repayment of cash advances or prepayments.
