AZ Laws

September 8th, 2006 Posted by Heather

AZ laws regarding employment cover a variety of issues. For example, provisions are made within these laws that set a standard for employers and employees. 

According to AZ laws the state of Arizona follows a “no-fault” standard when it comes to workers’ compensation issues. No matter who caused the injury on the job, the worker receives both medical help and workers’ compensation for the incident if basic eligibility requirements are met. 

AZ laws pertaining to safety also benefit the workplace. These are standards set by the Arizona DOSH (local OSHA) office. All accidents that result in death of one person or hospitalization of three or more people should be reported within eight hours. In addition, any mechanical machine press accident must be reported within 30 days. 

AZ laws also are established to provide equality for all. If two people of the opposite sex have the same level of abilities to complete a job they should both get paid for that specific job. This applies to jobs where people are given the same amount of duties and responsibilities. 

AZ laws are also set in place to help regulate payment of wages. For example, employers are required to pay their employees twice a month in most cases, no longer than 16 days apart. In addition, they must pay terminated employees within three days or in 10 days if that person works for the school district. 

AZ laws are on the books, which state when wages can be withheld as well in cases where permissible by state law. Furthermore, any withholding of wages can take place upon written consent of the employee. 

Sometimes the case of a reasonable discrepancy about wages between the employee and employer is cause for wage withholding as well. Those who are not receiving wages due to them can make a complaint with the state labor department. 

The laws mentioned above as well as other AZ laws help improve working conditions for employees throughout the entire state of Arizona. Both employers and employees need to be kept informed of all of these laws.
