Arizona Employment & Labor Laws & Deadlines
Arizona follows at-will employment doctrine, but workers are protected under state civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, religion, sex, age, and disability with claims that must be filed within 180 days. The Arizona Civil Rights Act provides additional protections beyond federal law, and Arizona Revised Statutes Title 23 governs wage and hour violations. Unlike many states, Arizona does not have a state-specific family leave act, making federal FMLA compliance particularly important for eligible employees.
