Receiving shares in an LLC as compensation for services rendered can indeed create a tax burden, as the IRS often views this as taxable income. In Nevada, while there is no state income tax, federal taxes still apply. One way to manage this tax burden is to receive the shares gradually over several... View More

First, review the terms of your phone/cable contract. If the contract was in your LLC's name and... View More

A Los Angeles or Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Attorneys here can't respond to you with offers of their services. The format here is limited to quick Q & A. You could search attorneys on your own, and supplement your searches with the... View More

In the state of Nevada, can I ask a client of my med-spa business to sign a release of claims and a refund acknowledgement upon processing the refund for their service?

answered on Oct 4, 2023
In Nevada, businesses often use releases or waivers to protect themselves from potential future claims or lawsuits. It's not uncommon for a business to request a customer to sign a release of claims when processing a refund, especially if there's a potential for a dispute or claim. By... View More

n Nevada, if you are in the middle of a fixed-term lease (e.g., a 12-month lease), your landlord cannot increase the rent or any fees unless it's specifically stipulated in the lease agreement.

In general, advertisements are considered invitations to make an offer, not binding contracts themselves. However, there are exceptions and legal principles to consider. In Nevada, if the ad includes the VIN number and all the car details, it might be seen as a specific offer rather than a mere... View More
If I pay them either $13.25 per hour or $15 per hour. Am I required to pay them overtime of $19 per Hour and $22 per hour. Over 40 hours. My company is based in Nevada. I only have 1 employee and myself.
answered on Jun 6, 2023
Generally yes. Federal law requires that hourly-paid employees be paid overtime, at a rate of one-and-one-half times their regular rate of pay, for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. If your business does less than $500,000 gross in business per year, however, you may be exempt from federal... View More
I have a restaurant and I will be serving alcohol soon. I understand that servers or anyone who will be handling the liquor (like bartenders) should be of legal age. How about non-servers like bussers, kitchen staff, and chefs? Do they need to be of legal age? Or can they be below 21 as long as... View More
answered on May 28, 2023
Typical lawyer answer: IT DEPENDS. You said the "bussers, kitchen staff and chefs" Are they handling alcohol in the performance of their duties- handling alcohol to be served to customers, not used in food preparation? Many dishes call for alcohol to be added: Bananas Foster, Cherries... View More
I have been working at my company for over 6 months and now they are trying to cut my pay in half, and even more than that and expecting me to take on more responsibility. And say I have till Monday to sign it or I cant come back to work. Is this legal? Can they do this with no prior notice???
answered on Feb 7, 2022
Employees are either “at will” or they have a contract. At will employees can quit when they want and the company can fire or layoff an employee when it wants, so long as the termination isn’t due to discrimination, retaliation or another illegal reason. It sounds like you are an employee... View More

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry for your accident and injuries. At this point, you could reach out to attorneys in your area to discuss in further detail. Most attorneys who handle injury cases offer free initial consults. Good luck
