Does the Arizona minimum wage apply to volunteers?
No. An individual that works for another person without any express or implied compensation agreement is not an employee under the Arizona Minimum Wage Act. This may include an individual that volunteers his or her services for civic, charitable, or humanitarian reasons that are offered freely and without direct or implied pressure or coercion from an employer, provided that the volunteer is not otherwise employed by the employer to perform the same type of services as those which the individual proposes to volunteer.
