Common questions about Employment Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
What is the statute of limitations for an Arizona discrimination claim?
Under federal law (Title VII), a charge must be filed with the EEOC within 300 days of the discriminatory act in deferral states like Arizona. Under the Arizona Civil Rights Act (ARS §§ 41-1463 et seq.), a charge with the Arizona Civil Rights Division must be filed within 180 days. Both administrative steps are required before filing a lawsuit; missing the deadlines generally bars the claim entirely.
Are non-compete agreements enforceable in Arizona?
Sometimes. Arizona courts apply a rule-of-reasonableness analysis to non-compete agreements, considering geographic scope, duration, and the legitimate business interest protected. Overly broad agreements are often pared back through the 'blue pencil' doctrine or invalidated entirely. Non-solicitation and non-disclosure provisions face similar scrutiny but are generally easier to enforce than full non-competes.
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.
