Bill > HB2466

This bill mandates that employers in Arizona provide specific breaks and overtime pay to their employees. Employers must offer a 30-minute unpaid meal break for shifts longer than five hours, and an additional 30-minute unpaid meal break for shifts exceeding twelve hours. Additionally, employees are entitled to a paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked. The bill also revises overtime pay rules, requiring employers to pay one and a half times an employee's regular rate for hours worked beyond eight in a workday or for the first eight hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of a workweek. Hours worked exceeding twelve in a workday or beyond eight on the seventh consecutive day of a workweek will be compensated at double the regular rate. The bill also clarifies that the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, a federal law establishing minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping standards, applies to employers with annual sales of $100,000 or more or those involved in interstate commerce.
