Arizona does not have overtime laws that are different from federal overtime law.

The Arizona state minimum wage is $11.00 per hour, which is higher than the federal rate of $7.25 per hour. Employers, however, can use tips and gratuities to reduce the minimum wage required to $8.00.

Arizona does not have any meal or rest break requirements.

Flagstaff, Arizona, has a minimum wage of $11.00 per hour, as of January 1, 2018. The minimum wage will gradually increase until it reaches $15.50 per hour in 2022, after which point minimum wage increases will be calculated from the consumer price index.

Arizona does not have any meal or rest break requirements.

An employee cannot file a wage claim in with the Arizona Department of Labor unless they have not been paid for completed work, the wages owed to the employee are $5,000.00 or less, and the accrual of those unpaid wages does not exceed one year. 

An employee may file a claim for unpaid wages if the wages owed to the employee are $5,000.00 or less, and the accrual of those unpaid wages does not exceed one year. If the employee is owed more than $5,000.00, they may file through Small Claims Court or Superior Court.
