Arizona Employees — You Have Legal Rights!

Federal labor law generally requires employees to be paid overtime pay at a rate of not less than one and one-half times an employee’s regular rate of pay after 40 hours of work in a workweek. Employees in Arizona are no different and are typically entitled to overtime pay, unless they are exempt. Unfortunately, Arizona employees are often misclassifed by their employers as exempt from overtime.

Workers in Arizona are sometimes incorrectly treated as executives, administrators, professionals, outside sale persons, commissioned retail sales employees, independent contractors or other exempt employees when they should not be. These terms are defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and require that very specific legal requirements be met before they can apply to prevent you from receiving overtime pay.

Arizona employees are sometimes denied overtime pay for other reasons which can be improper. Common examples include:

  • requiring Arizona employees to work off the clock (not recording time actually worked by the employee on the job, not paying for meal periods and rest breaks, failing to pay overtime for travel time from the office to a work-site and back, not paying overtime for time spent working while traveling, refusing to pay overtime for attendance at training, meetings and lectures, not paying for time spent doing necessary preparations for work such as suiting up or putting on protective gear on, on-call time, or time in security lines, forcing employees to work without clocking in, or by telling employees to report fewer hours than actually worked);
  • telling Arizona employees that they did not get permission or approval in advance for the overtime or that they are paid a salary and salaried workers are not entitled to overtime (just because you are paid a salary does not necessarily mean that you are not entitled to overtime);
  • miscalculating the amount of overtime pay due (employers often improperly calculate overtime by carrying over one week’s earned overtime hours into another week, paying employees their regular rate for overtime work instead of time and a half; altering employees’ time sheets and records, etc.).

    I recently discovered my employer has not been paying me for 2 raises that have occured since July. I brought this to their attention 4 weeks ago and the problem has not been resolved. I have not received back pay and my current pay rate has still not been adjusted. How long do I have to legally wait for compensation?

    I work for a big healthcare company in phoenix, az. I was just wondering if it ok for an employer to 1) demand mandatory hours without the option of flexible scheduling and 2)reprimand an employee for not showing up for the mandatory overtime. Is there anything the law books i can reference to. Thanx

    Hello,

    We have an incredible story of fraud by Land America and are looking for a good civil action attorney in Arizona, any help?

    In short, they have collected our reserves monthly for 9 months of $97.00, then nearly tripled the allowed amount to $250 for 3 months and did not pay taxes or Insurance, nor any 1098 sent to us. Taxes are delinquent, I had the Insurance company give an extension because of what they are doing. I’ve contacted RESPA, the AZ. Attorney General who forwarded it to the department of Financial institutions and which say our complaint with Land America is under their jurisdiction, but may fall between their cracks and suggested an attorney.

    The County Assessors office states Land America is doing the same thing to many other delinquent property owners, some with cancelled insurance.

    Please help, I realize our monetary value may seem low to you, but the concept of what they are doing to many people is huge, they should be reprimanded and pay damages to all involved. I’m not against a private lawsuit directed at Land America if you feel this is not a civil action case and can explain more, have a great paper trail.

    Thanks,
    Rob Tuohy

    Hi,
    I am an exempt salary employee.
    Alot of employees at the company I work for, work about 10 to 20 hours overtime each week. Can the company I work for, enforce overtime on a continued regular basis? Thanks

    Hi,

    My employer just paid me 1/2 of my first check, and it is already past the time I should have received my second. I’m been working over a month. And I’ve put in between 140-200 hours already. At minimum wage. My boss is not going to pay over time. My boss is rolling my hours over to other pay checks. (Is that legal?)
    Can I be denied my full pay on pay day for no reason?
