Common questions about Employment Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

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.

What protections do Arizona workers have for wage theft?

Arizona's wage statutes (ARS §§ 23-350 to 23-364) require employers to pay all wages owed, prohibit improper deductions, and provide for treble damages and attorney fees in some cases. The Industrial Commission of Arizona handles unpaid-wage complaints up to certain thresholds; larger or complex cases proceed in court. Federal Fair Labor Standards Act overtime and minimum-wage protections apply concurrently.
