New Arizona Minimum Wage Rate

December 21, 2007 By Gust Rosenfeld In Legal Alerts

Effective January 1, 2008, Arizona’s minimum wage will increase from $6.75/hour to $6.90/hour. Importantly, Arizona employers must pay Arizona’s rate, which is $1.05 higher than the Federal rate. Tipped employees will also benefit with an increase to at least $3.90 per hour.

These increases result from the November 2006 Arizona voter approval of Proposition 202, the Minimum Wage Initiative. The new law requires the Industrial Commission of Arizona to increase Arizona’s minimum wage on January 1st based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measured in August of each year.
