Local notes & what to do
Arizona's wage and sick time rules both come from Proposition 206 (2016): the minimum wage is adjusted for inflation each year ($15.15 in 2026, with $15.65 announced for January 1, 2027) and the tip rule is a flat maximum credit of $3.00 per hour rather than a percentage. Earned paid sick time has been required since July 1, 2017. Tucson and Flagstaff set local minimum wages above the state rate.
