Arizona's New Paid Sick Leave Law

By Tamara Cook
October 02, 2017

As of July 1, 2017 all employers in Arizona are now required to provide employees with paid sick leave as directed by a new law, the Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act, which Arizona voters passed in November 2016. The law dictates how employers must implement the new rules — from when the benefits begin to accrue to when they pay out, and what fines will be imposed for non-compliance. Employers may struggle with how to conform to the new law. In this article, we address some of the more likely issues employers may face.

Who Does This Affect?

Companies with even one paid Arizona employee are required to comply. An “employee” includes any person who is or was working for an employer, including people engaged in work as a condition of receiving public assistance. It does not include those who are employed by a parent or a sibling, or who performs babysitting services in the employer's home on a casual basis. Employees of the state of Arizona and the United States are also exempt. It only applies to those who work IN Arizona, not those who are Arizona residents but who work out of state.
