Can an employer retaliate against an employee for asking questions about not being paid the minimum wage or for asserting any right under the Arizona Minimum Wage Act?
No. The Arizona Minimum Wage Act prohibits an employer from retaliating against an employee or other person for asserting any right under the Arizona Minimum Wage Act. Additionally, if an employer takes adverse action against an employee within 90 days of the employee asserting a right under the Act, the presumption is that the employer retaliated against the employee. This presumption can only be overcome if the employer shows by clear and convincing evidence that the action taken against the employee was for a permissible reason.
