Wages

You have the right to be paid for all the work you do.

• You have the right to earn at least the federal legal minimum wage for most jobs.
• Arizona's minimum wage in 2025 is $14.70
• In some recent years, some cities across the country have established their own minimum wage rages. In Arizona, this includes:
• Flagstaff: $17.85 per hour
• Tucson: $15.00 per hour

You may be entitled to overtime pay of one and a half times the amount of your hourly wage for any hours worked over 40 hours per week.

• For example, if your regular wage rate is $10 per hour, your employer may be required to pay you $15 for each hour you work above 40 hours in a single week
• If your employer takes money from your paycheck, this is called a deduction. Your employer must clearly identify for you each deduction taken from your paycheck.
• Deductions may be illegal if you are left with less than the legally required wage rate after the deduction.
• An employer usually may not deduct for the cost of uniforms, safety equipment, required tools, supplies, equipment or recruitment fees.
