Arizona minimum wage, minors' hours, final pay and record rules
The current Arizona minimum wage is not on file in HoursReady and needs a human read. HoursReady lists these Arizona rules and does not calculate them: minors' hours; final pay when employment ends; payroll and time records.

In the calculators: Arizona rules page available; automatic calculation coming. Until then the HoursReady calculators apply federal rules for Arizona and say so on screen.
Minors' hours (under 16)
Under 16: at most 40 hours a week and 8 hours a day when not in school or school is not in session; at most 18 hours a week and 3 hours a day when enrolled and school is in session. No night work: after 9:30 p.m. before a school day, or after 11:00 p.m. before a non-school day, until 6:00 a.m. Newspaper delivery to consumers is excluded. Under 18: listed hazardous occupations are prohibited.
Final pay when employment ends
Discharged employees: wages due within 7 working days or by the end of the next regular pay period, whichever is sooner. Employees who quit: all wages due by the regular payday for the pay period in which they quit (by mail if they ask). Whether unused vacation counts as wages is not stated in the sections read.
Payroll and time records
Employers keep payroll records showing the hours worked for each day worked, and the wages and earned paid sick time paid to all employees, for four years. Missing records raise a rebuttable presumption that the minimum wage or earned paid sick time was not paid. The paycheck (or an attachment) shows the sick time available, taken this year and paid.
Arizona minimum wage: current rate not on file
HoursReady has no current Arizona minimum wage on file and shows no rate. Reading the current rate needs a human read of the state law or notice that sets it.
Arizona minimum wage (US-AZ) is not verified against its source yet, so its minimum wage is not used. This needs a human.
