New Minimum Wage in Revised Arizona Labor Law Poster

Arizona has a new minimum wage of $6.90 per hour, effective Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2008, as a result of the passage of Proposition 202 by state voters on Nov. 7, 2006.

The new minimum wage is included in a mandatory workplace notice issued by the Industrial Commission of Arizona. The minimum wage rate in effect from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2007 was $6.75 per hour.

The minimum wage law approved by Arizona voters calls for an increase in the minimum hourly rate for state workers every January 1 based on the cost of living. Before 2007, Arizona had enforced the federal minimum wage rate, which was $5.15 per hour at that time.
