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 2023 is $13.95
In some recent years, some cities across the country have established their own minimum wage rages. In Arizona, this includes:
Flagstaff: $16.80 per hour
Tucson: $13.85 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.
