Legal Alert: Arizona Minimum Wage Increase and FLSA Exempt Employee Salary Increase Rule Set Aside

Posted on November 18, 2024 by Terry Hernlund

Minimum Wage Increase

Effective January 1, 2025, Arizona’s minimum wage will increase by 35 cents – from $14.35 to $14.70 per hour, representing a 2.4 percent raise. This jump reflects the continued wage increase initiative started by The Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act, which voters approved in 2016.

In addition to the statewide minimum wage requirements, employers should be aware of local minimum wage requirements. Several Arizona municipalities have independent minimum wages. This includes Flagstaff, which will increase its minimum wage to $17.85 per hour effective January 1, 2025. Tucson will increase its minimum wage to $15 per hour effective January 1, 2025.
