Arizona Minimum Wage Notice
Arizona’s minimum wage is set to increase to $12.00 per hour on January 1, 2020. The Industrial Commission of Arizona has updated the required Minimum Wage workplace notice with the new 2020 minimum wage rate.
Pursuant to Proposition 206, also known as the Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act, employers must pay each employee wages not less than the applicable minimum wage for each hour worked. Employers are permitted to pay employees receiving tips up to $3.00 per hour less than the minimum wage, provided that the employees earn at least minimum wage for all hours worked each week. In addition to paying minimum wage, employers are required to keep accurate records of employee wages and hours for four years.
All employers operating in the state of Arizona, except employers that have less than $500,000 in gross annual revenue, must display the Arizona Minimum Wage Notice. An employer who violates the Act’s recordkeeping and posting requirements is subject to a civil penalty of at least $250 for the first violation and at least $1,000 for each subsequent or willful violation. (Arizona Revised Statutes, Sec. 23-364(F)) Employers with employees who work in the City of Flagstaff have additional minimum wage requirements.

The Arizona Department of Economic Security has updated the also required Unemployment Insurance notice. The notice, which provides information about the Unemployment Insurance program, has been redesigned. Highlight of changes:
- New top and bottom banner. Top banner now reads: “Department of Economic Security – Your Partner For A Stronger Arizona.”
