Arizona overtime rules in 2026

Arizona overtime follows the federal weekly FLSA trigger: non-exempt employees generally earn 1.5× after 40 hours worked in a workweek. Arizona's state wage floor is higher than the federal minimum, with a 2026 minimum wage of $15.15/hour and a tipped cash wage of $12.15/hour when the $3.00 tip credit is valid.

Weekly Overtime Rule1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek.
Minimum Wage$15.15/hour
Tipped Wage$12.15/hour
Local Wage CaveatSome Arizona localities may set higher wage standards or separate worker protections; verify the city rule before entering the wage floor.
Salary Employee NoteArizona generally relies on federal FLSA exemption tests. A salary alone does not remove overtime rights; duties and salary-basis rules still matter.

Pay situations specific to Arizona

These are the Arizona rules that change the overtime math. For the federal rules that apply everywhere — the duties test, what counts toward the regular rate, and how the 40-hour workweek is measured — see the FLSA overtime guide. For how these estimates are produced and reviewed, see the calculator methodology.

Salaried employees

Arizona generally relies on federal FLSA exemption tests. A salary alone does not remove overtime rights; duties and salary-basis rules still matter.

Tipped employees

Arizona permits a tip credit of up to $3.00/hour. For 2026, that means a tipped cash wage of $12.15/hour is allowed only if cash wages plus tips reach at least $15.15/hour each workweek.

Bonuses and commissions

Non-discretionary bonuses, commissions, shift differentials, and multiple hourly rates can increase the regular rate used for overtime. Use the regular rate calculator for mixed-pay weeks.
