If you run an hourly crew in Arizona, two questions come up every payroll: how much do you owe once someone crosses into overtime, and are you following the state's rules. Arizona uses the federal 40-hour rule, so any hour past 40 in a workweek is paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. The Arizona minimum wage is $15.15 an hour. This page gives you a free Arizona overtime calculator, a plain summary of the state's wage and hour rules, and a look at how Clox tracks your crew's hours.

Arizona wage and hour rules
Here's the short version of the rules an hourly Arizona employer runs into. Each figure has a source below, and the rules change over time, so confirm anything you rely on with the state.
$15.15/hr in effect on Jan 1, 2026, up from $14.70. Arizona indexes its minimum wage to inflation each year under the Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act. Tipped employees may be paid $12.15/hr, which reflects a tip credit of up to $3.00/hr, provided that cash wages plus tips equal or exceed the full $15.15 minimum. Local minimums are higher in some cities: Flagstaff is $18.35/hr and Tucson is $15.45/hr as of Jan 1, 2026. Where a city rate applies, the higher local rate governs.
1.5x the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Arizona has no state overtime statute and defers to the federal FLSA.
None. Arizona has no daily overtime and no double-time requirement. Overtime is weekly (over 40 hours in a workweek) only, following the federal FLSA.
Arizona does not mandate meal periods, so federal FLSA rules apply: a bona fide meal break of 30 minutes or more may be unpaid when the employee is fully relieved of duties. If an employer promises breaks in a handbook or contract, those terms can be enforceable.
Under federal FLSA practice, short rest breaks of 5 to 20 minutes, if offered, count as paid hours worked.
23-353. A discharged employee must be paid all wages due within seven working days or by the end of the next regular pay period, whichever is sooner. An employee who quits must be paid all wages due no later than the regular payday for the pay period in which the resignation occurred.
Confirm before you rely on these
Rates verified August 2026. Arizona indexes its minimum wage to inflation, so the $15.15 rate will adjust again on January 1, 2027, and Flagstaff ($18.35) and Tucson ($15.45) set higher local minimums. A 2026 bill that would have added break and daily-overtime requirements (HB 2466) died when the legislature adjourned on June 13, 2026, so Arizona still has no such requirements. This is general information, not legal or payroll advice. Check the Arizona labor department for the current rules, and talk to a professional for your situation.

How long to keep time records
Federal law requires keeping time cards 2 years and payroll records 3 years, and some states go longer. The full breakdown is in how long to keep timesheets and payroll records.

Track Arizona hours accurately with Clox
A calculator is only as accurate as the hours you put into it. Clox is time tracking built for field and trade crews, so your crew's hours are recorded accurately in the first place, then the overtime is figured for you.
- Your crew clocks in with one tap on their phone, and it works offline, so a dead zone on the job doesn't lose a punch.
- Lock clock-in to a geofenced worksite so a punch has to happen on site. It's a strong deterrent, not a foolproof guarantee, because the location comes from the phone.
- Overtime is calculated automatically on the Arizona weekly-40 rule, so you're not doing this math by hand every Friday.
- Export payroll-ready files for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, and Paychex when the week is done.
If your crew moves between addresses during the day, settle how you handle drive time between job sites before you run the numbers. Those hours can count toward the weekly total, and leaving them untracked understates the overtime you owe.
