No. Arizona has no general daily overtime rule for most private-sector employees — overtime starts after 40 hours in a workweek, so a 12-hour day does not trigger it on its own. An employer policy or union contract can still promise daily overtime voluntarily.

At the Arizona minimum wage of $15.15/hour the overtime rate is $22.73/hour. A 45-hour week at that wage comes to $606.00 regular plus $113.63 overtime — $719.63 gross.

In Arizona, tipped employees may receive a direct cash wage of $12.15/hour, with the remaining $3.00/hour covered by tips (the tip credit). However, overtime must generally be calculated using the full minimum wage of $15.15/hour, not the lower cash rate. For example, if a tipped employee works 45 hours, their base overtime rate is 1.5× the full minimum wage ($22.73/hour), minus the tip credit ($3.00), resulting in a direct cash overtime rate of $19.73/hour for each of the 5 overtime hours worked that week.

Unpaid overtime claims in Arizona go to Arizona Department of Labor / State Workforce Agency, and a lawyer is generally not required. Bring timesheets and pay stubs. Federal claims can instead go to the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
