The statute separately makes coverage compulsory for the state, local governments, and contractors under those entities regardless of employee count; a contractor working on a public project should verify both its own coverage and any consolidated program terms.[^1][^2] **Coverage:** [Workers’ compensation](/coverage/workers-compensation) · [Nevada](/coverage/states/nevada) ## What Is Workers’ Compensation? Workers’ compensation can pay medical care and part of an employee’s lost wages after a work-related injury or illness. If you have staff, check who is covered in each state; owners, contractors and some workers may be treated differently. [Read the national Workers’ compensation guide](/coverage/workers-compensation). ## What to Watch for in Nevada ### One Employee Brings Most Employers Into the Act NRS 616B.633 applies the industrial-insurance chapters to employers who employ at least one employee. Ask the broker to confirm worker status and Nevada policy coverage as soon as you hire, not after payroll grows.[^1] ### Public Projects Carry No Employee-Count Exception For the state, local governments, and their contractors, coverage is compulsory without regard to how many people they employ. Before bidding or staffing public work, confirm the policy or consolidated insurance program covers the contract’s employees.[^1] ### Check Whether a Construction Program Covers Your Employees Nevada law lets contractors and subcontractors satisfy the coverage duty to the extent their employees are covered by a consolidated insurance program. Ask for the project-specific enrollment and covered employee class rather than assuming every subcontractor is automatically included.[^1] ### A Coverage Gap Can Trigger Back Premiums and Criminal Penalties The Administrator may charge premiums for the uninsured period, capped at six years, plus interest. A first offense is generally a misdemeanor; a first offense involving an employee’s substantial bodily harm or death is a category C felony. Verify policy continuity and report payroll changes promptly.[^2] ## Who Regulates Insurance in Nevada **Nevada Division of Insurance.** The Nevada Division of Insurance regulates insurers and producers and provides a license verification tool for agents, agencies and companies. Its Consumer Services unit accepts insurance complaints and questions.[^3][^4][^5] - [Regulator website](https://doi.nv.gov/) - [License lookup](https://doi.nv.gov/licensing-search/) - [File a complaint](https://doi.nv.gov/Consumers/File-A-Complaint/) - Phone: 888-872-3234 ### Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office **Reported tax rate:** Same tax rate as admitted coverage of the same kind; an approved filing fee may also apply When Nevada is the insured’s home state, Nevada taxes surplus-lines coverage at the rate imposed on similar admitted coverage and adds any approved filing fee; the rate therefore depends on the line and applicable fee approval. Nevada law requires a diligent effort to place coverage with authorized insurers except where the statutory exempt-commercial-purchaser conditions apply, and the policy must warn that the Nevada Insurance Guaranty Association will not cover the contract.[^6][^7][^8][^9] ## Providers With Documented State Licenses These providers publish a national listing for Workers’ compensation; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm that the product is available in Nevada; [check the regulator’s license lookup](https://doi.nv.gov/licensing-search/) and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote. - [Corgi](/insurance-providers/corgi) — **Entity:** Corgi Insurance Services, Inc.; **role:** Insurance producer; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability.[^12] - [ERGO NEXT Insurance](/insurance-providers/next-insurance) — **Entity:** Next First Insurance Agency, Inc.; **role:** Insurance producer; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** ERGO NEXT’s current license table lists Next First Insurance Agency, Inc. in 50 jurisdictions, including Washington, DC; New York is excluded because its table rows name Next Insurance Services and AP Intego, not Next First. The table is company-reported; it does not establish product availability or provide state-regulator verification for each entry.[^14] - [Hiscox](/insurance-providers/hiscox) — **Entity:** Hiscox Insurance Company Inc.; **role:** Insurer; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Hiscox’s U.S. company information states that Hiscox Insurance Company Inc. is licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This is company-reported insurer authority for this entity and does not establish which company issues every Hiscox-branded product.[^13] - [TechInsurance](/insurance-providers/techinsurance) — **Entity:** Specialty Program Group LLC; **role:** Insurance producer; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map.[^15] - [Vouch](/insurance-providers/vouch) — **Entity:** Vouch Specialty Insurance Services, LLC; **role:** Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker; **checked:** 2026-09-28. **Scope:** Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability.[^16] ## Questions to Ask Before You Buy in Nevada 1. Does our policy include Nevada for every employee working here? 2. If we are on a public project, are our employees named or enrolled in the consolidated program? 3. What records show our Nevada effective dates and payroll if the Administrator checks compliance? ## Workers’ Compensation in Nevada: FAQ ### Is Nevada workers’ comp required for one employee? Yes. Nevada applies industrial-insurance coverage to employers with at least one employee, subject to statutory exclusions and special rules.[^1] ### Do Nevada government contractors have a minimum employee threshold? No. Coverage is compulsory for state and local governments and their contractors regardless of the number of employees.[^1] ## Workers’ Compensation in Other States - [Alabama](/coverage/workers-compensation/alabama) - [Alaska](/coverage/workers-compensation/alaska) - [Arizona](/coverage/workers-compensation/arizona) - [Arkansas](/coverage/workers-compensation/arkansas) - [California](/coverage/workers-compensation/california) - [Colorado](/coverage/workers-compensation/colorado) - [Connecticut](/coverage/workers-compensation/connecticut) - [Delaware](/coverage/workers-compensation/delaware) - [District of Columbia](/coverage/workers-compensation/district-of-columbia) - [Florida](/coverage/workers-compensation/florida) - [Georgia](/coverage/workers-compensation/georgia) - [Hawaii](/coverage/workers-compensation/hawaii) - [Idaho](/coverage/workers-compensation/idaho) - [Illinois](/coverage/workers-compensation/illinois) - [Indiana](/coverage/workers-compensation/indiana) - [Iowa](/coverage/workers-compensation/iowa) - [Kansas](/coverage/workers-compensation/kansas) - [Kentucky](/coverage/workers-compensation/kentucky) - [Louisiana](/coverage/workers-compensation/louisiana) - [Maine](/coverage/workers-compensation/maine) - [Maryland](/coverage/workers-compensation/maryland) - [Massachusetts](/coverage/workers-compensation/massachusetts) - [Michigan](/coverage/workers-compensation/michigan) - [Minnesota](/coverage/workers-compensation/minnesota) - [Mississippi](/coverage/workers-compensation/mississippi) - [Missouri](/coverage/workers-compensation/missouri) - [Montana](/coverage/workers-compensation/montana) - [Nebraska](/coverage/workers-compensation/nebraska) - [New Hampshire](/coverage/workers-compensation/new-hampshire) - [New Jersey](/coverage/workers-compensation/new-jersey) - [New Mexico](/coverage/workers-compensation/new-mexico) - [New York](/coverage/workers-compensation/new-york) - [North Carolina](/coverage/workers-compensation/north-carolina) - [North Dakota](/coverage/workers-compensation/north-dakota) - [Ohio](/coverage/workers-compensation/ohio) - [Oklahoma](/coverage/workers-compensation/oklahoma) - [Oregon](/coverage/workers-compensation/oregon) - [Pennsylvania](/coverage/workers-compensation/pennsylvania) - [Rhode Island](/coverage/workers-compensation/rhode-island) - [South Carolina](/coverage/workers-compensation/south-carolina) - [South Dakota](/coverage/workers-compensation/south-dakota) - [Tennessee](/coverage/workers-compensation/tennessee) - [Texas](/coverage/workers-compensation/texas) - [Utah](/coverage/workers-compensation/utah) - [Vermont](/coverage/workers-compensation/vermont) - [Virginia](/coverage/workers-compensation/virginia) - [Washington](/coverage/workers-compensation/washington) - [West Virginia](/coverage/workers-compensation/west-virginia) - [Wisconsin](/coverage/workers-compensation/wisconsin) - [Wyoming](/coverage/workers-compensation/wyoming) [Other Coverage in Nevada](/coverage/states/nevada) ## Sources [^1]: [NRS Chapter 616B, Industrial Insurance: Liability for Provision of Coverage](https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRs/NRS-616B.html) — Nevada Legislature; NRS 616B.612, .618, .633, .710: employer coverage, public contractors, one-employee scope, consolidated programs; accessed 2026-09-28.
