As we begin a new year, Arizona employers should be aware of and begin planning for changes, and proposed changes, in local, state, and federal employment laws, which may impact their businesses in 2023. TALG continually monitors changes to these laws and will publish articles throughout the year regarding recent developments that could impact you and your business.

Arizona Minimum Wage

The State of Arizona’s minimum wage is determined based upon inflation and cost-of-living increases, under Proposition 206, also known as the Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act, and A.R.S. 23-363(B). Effective January 1, 2023, and running through December 31, 2023, the minimum wage has been increased to $13.85. This was increased from $12.80 in 2022. However, please note if your business works in or employs individuals in Flagstaff, you must comply with a different minimum wage requirement. Specifically, Flagstaff increased its minimum wage from $15.50 in 2022 to $16.80 in 2023. These minimum wages also vary for tipped individuals.

Arizona employers must display the new minimum wage, along with other state-mandated posting requirements, where it is sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. Employers with questions may wish to consult their attorney, tax professional, or the Industrial Commission of Arizona for guidance on compliance.
