In all matters relating to wages or commissions and before taking any assignment, the labor commissioner may in accordance with the provisions of NRS 607.210, subpoena to appear before him, at a suitable place in the county of the claimant, his employer and all other persons required to adjust and settle claims for wages or commissions before bringing suit therefor, and the labor commissioner may effect reasonable compromises of those claims. 3.

The money must be promptly paid to the person entitled thereto. At the end of each calendar year, any unclaimed money in the commercial account which has been a part of the account for 1 year or more is presumed abandoned under NRS 120A.220.
