Timely Payment of Wages

Your voice to

Get paid on time

The Arizona Wage Statute governs timely payment of wages due to employees in Arizona. When an employee is discharged by the employer, the employee must be paid the wages due within seven working days or the end of the next regular pay period, whichever is sooner. When an employee quits, the employee must be paid all wages due by the next regular pay day after the termination occurred.

Under Arizona law, “wages” means non-discretionary compensation due to an employee for labor or services rendered that the employee has a reasonable expectation to be paid. If your employer has a policy or practice of paying certain wages, then they have to be paid to you in full within the timeframe set by Arizona law. For example, your employer may have a policy to pay employees who resign their unused Paid Sick Time or paid time off. That would create a reasonable expectation to receive those wages within the time constraints set by Arizona law for payment of wages when an employee quits.
