Arizona basics

What to know about workplace claims in Phoenix

Many workplace claims must start with an agency charge before any lawsuit, and those charges have hard deadlines.

Arizona is at-will, with exceptionsWithout a signed written contract, employment is at will. Firing can still be unlawful when it violates a state statute or retaliates for things like whistleblowing, workers’ comp claims or jury service.Source: A.R.S. § 23-1501
180 days for a state chargeA discrimination charge with the Arizona Attorney General’s Civil Rights Division must be filed within 180 days of the act.Source: A.R.S. § 41-1481
300 days for an EEOC chargeBecause Arizona has its own enforcement agency, the federal EEOC deadline is generally 300 days. Age claims can differ.Source: EEOC, Time Limits for Filing a Charge
2026 minimum wage: $15.15Arizona’s minimum wage is $15.15 an hour as of January 1, 2026. Tipped workers can be paid up to $3.00 less in cash wages.Source: A.R.S. § 23-363; Industrial Commission of Arizona
