What happens if an employer violates the recordkeeping, posting, or other requirements under the Arizona Minimum Wage?
An employer who violates these requirements is subject to a civil penalty of at least $250 for the first violation and at least $1000 for each subsequent or willful violation. Special monitoring and inspections may also be imposed. Additionally, if an employer fails to maintain the required records, it is presumed that the employer did not pay the required minimum wage. An employer has the right to rebut this presumption with evidence that the employer paid the employee the required minimum wage.
