Bill > HB2502

This bill establishes new labor standards for employees in Arizona, requiring employers to provide specific meal and rest breaks, as well as enhanced overtime pay rates. Specifically, employers must offer employees a 30-minute unpaid meal break when working more than five hours in a day and another 30-minute unpaid meal break when working more than twelve hours in a day. Additionally, employees are entitled to a paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked. The bill mandates overtime pay at one and a half times the regular rate for hours worked beyond eight up to twelve in a workday and for the first eight hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of a workweek. Furthermore, employees will receive double their regular rate of pay for hours worked beyond twelve in a workday or eight hours on the seventh consecutive day of a workweek. The bill also extends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to employers with annual sales of $100,000 or those engaged in interstate commerce, ensuring broader worker protections and standardizing labor regulations across different types of businesses.
