Common questions about Employment Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
What is wrongful termination in Arizona?
Wrongful termination under ARS § 23-1501 means firing in violation of a contractual provision, in retaliation for refusing to violate the law or exercising a protected right (whistleblowing, jury service, workers' comp), or in violation of an Arizona statute or constitutional provision. Common claims include retaliation, discrimination, and breach of an implied contract from employee handbooks.
Does Arizona have its own minimum wage law?
Yes. Arizona's voter-approved minimum wage (currently $14.35/hour as of 2024, indexed for inflation) under ARS § 23-363 is higher than the federal $7.25 minimum. Tipped employees can be paid up to $3.00 less per hour as long as tips bring them to the full state minimum. Most Arizona cities and counties cannot impose a higher local minimum wage.
What is the FMLA and how does it apply in Arizona?
The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (29 USC § 2601 et seq.) entitles eligible employees of covered employers (50+ employees within 75 miles) to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for serious health conditions, parenting, or qualifying military events. Arizona has no separate state FMLA-equivalent. Eligibility requires 12 months of employment and 1,250 hours of service in the prior year.
