AZ Labor Laws

September 15th, 2006 Posted by Jared

It was not too difficult to find the Arizona (AZ) labor laws over the internet. Many of these labor laws can be found displayed in the workplace. There are many required posters that are used to inform employees of their rights due to the AZ labor laws. These posters must be displayed in conspicuous areas throughout the workplace where employees have easy access to them. This is why many employers place them around areas like the break room or the time clock. 

One labor law I found to be a bit strange deals with frequency of paying employees. Due to an AZ labor law, employers are required to pay employees of the business at least twice per month. The law goes even further, stating that payments cannot be made more than 16 days apart! In most workplaces, where payroll is done internally, the employer must pay everyone working for them within 5 days of the end of any given pay period. This law affects how employers pay around a holiday, as well, as they cannot pay after a holiday if that makes the time between two paydays greater than 16 days! 

For their minimum wage and overtime laws, the state of Arizona turns to the federal government. AZ labor laws do not spell out a minimum wage or overtime law in the state, so employers follow the Fair Labor Standards Act. 

There is also the labor law in Arizona stating that all employees are covered by Unemployment Insurance. If a worker in Arizona becomes unemployed, he or she may be able to receive unemployment benefits, if he or she qualifies. 

Many more Arizona (AZ) Labor Laws are on the books, including child labor laws. If you want a better idea of all the labor laws in this state, check out the AZ labor law posters. You can find federal labor laws and Arizona labor laws on the Arizona Complete Labor Law Poster, as well.
