1. If any employer pays any employee a lesser amount than the minimum wage set forth in NRS 608.250 or, if applicable, the minimum wage established by regulation of the Director of the Department of Human Services pursuant to NRS 608.670 , the employee may, at any time within 2 years, bring a civil action against the employer.
