Frequently Asked Questions
How often does an employer have to pay its employees?
Each employer in this state must designate two or more days in each month, not more than sixteen days apart, as fixed paydays for payment of wages to their employees.
Can an employer pay its employees once per month?
The employer can pay its employees once per month only if its principal place of business is located outside Arizona and if its payroll system is centralized outside the State of Arizona and the employees in question are professional, administrative, executive employees or outside salespersons as defined under the Fair Labor Standards Act or the employees are employed in a supervisory capacity as defined under the National Labor Relations Act.
If there is a conflict between State and Federal laws, which is applicable?
If both federal law and state law are applicable, the stricter law governs.
What happens if the employer does not respond to the claim?
If the employer does not respond in writing within ten days of the first notice, a second and final notice will be sent to the employer. If the employer again fails to respond, the Department will make a determination based on the evidence in the file.
When will the minimum wage be increased?
The 2021 minimum wage is $12.15 an hour. Every employer covered under the Act will be required to pay each employee wages not less than the amount effective at the time of employment. Arizona does not provide for a training or sub-minimum wage for different classes of employees (e.g., young workers, students, etc.). The minimum wage shall be paid for all hours worked, regardless of the frequency of payment and regardless of whether the wage is paid on an hourly, salaried, commissioned, piece rate, or any other basis.
