How overtime works in Arizona

In Arizona, overtime follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act: 1.5 times your regular rate for every hour over 40 in a single workweek. Arizona has no daily overtime law, so a long single day alone does not trigger a premium — only the weekly total counts. Your employer cannot average two weeks together to dodge the weekly limit.
