Legal Question in Employment Law in Nevada
Posted Schedules and Changes in Hours
My employer maintains a posted schedule for employers. If an employee is scheduled to work as posted in the schedule and upon arriving at work is told s/he is not needed, does the employer have any obligations regarding wages or anything else? This is a retail store. Thank you.

Here is a good Q & A regarding Oregon's approach to the issue: http://www.boli.state.or.us/BOLI/TA/T_FAQ_Showup.shtml
You may want to e-mail your State Assemblyman and Senator and ask them to propose laws like this. You can also join a union and bargain for "show up" pay rights. You are always free to leave this employer and tell them why you are leaving. Or write up an agreement for your employer to sign which provides for "show up" pay. If you do not support and vote for politcal candidates who advocate workers' rights, you might be waiting a long time for the law to change.
Re: Posted Schedules and Changes in Hours
Nevada does not have a "show up" pay requirement like some other states do by statute (you do not have to be paid for 4 hours, or whatever, if you show up for work but there is no work). However, you may have just a contract right to be paid (idea is employer promised you a day's pay but did not pay you). This is a situation I might be interested in hearing more about from you IF this is a large employer and it involves MANY employees.
