More details to this question:
I have a very severe allergies to perfume and cologne. I work at Avery small spa that only has 20employees. They refuse to help me with the issue of other employees spraying their perfume . I then have a reaction and will have to leave. I don't get paid unless I massage. Therefore I lose money. I've heard of a suite in Detroit. Where do I stand

While there does not appear to be any Nevada law directly on this point, there have been sporadic opinions in which employees were found to be able to made claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act to accomodate their allergies and sensitivies for a "fragrance-free" workplace policy.
