The state’s minimum wage adjusts each year to account for changes in cost-of-living expenses.
PHOENIX — Arizona’s minimum wage is projected to increase in 2025 by 35 cents.
Starting Jan. 1, the state’s minimum wage will be set at $14.70 to account for changes in cost-of-living expenses. A decade ago, Arizona’s minimum wage was $7.90 per hour
Voters approved an initiative in 2016 that would gradually increase Arizona’s minimum wage to $12 by 2020. The wage would then be adjusted annually depending on the local cost of living.
The wage law does not apply to individuals who are employed by a parent or sibling, nor does it apply to babysitters working on a casual basis. State and federal employees are also exempt from the wage law.
Arizona workers can file complaints with the Industrial Commission’s Labor Department to report employers who are not complying with the wage laws.
