This bill establishes a new section regarding overtime pay exemptions and salary requirements in Arizona law.

  • Title 23, chapter 2, article 7

    23-361.03. Overtime pay; exemption; rules A. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW, TO QUALIFY AS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS EMPLOYED IN A BONA FIDE ADMINISTRATIVE, EXECUTIVE OR PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY AND WHO IS EXEMPT FROM THE OVERTIME PAY REQUIREMENTS AS PRESCRIBED IN THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938 (52 STAT. 1060; 29 UNITED STATES CODE SECTION 201) AND THE REGULATIONS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO THAT ACT, AN INDIVIDUAL SHALL BE COMPENSATED ON A SALARY BASIS IN AN AMOUNT PER WEEK, EXCLUSIVE OF BOARD, LODGING OR OTHER FACILITIES, THAT IS NOT LESS THAN THE AMOUNT DETERMINED BY THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION OF ARIZONA UNDER SUBSECTION D OF THIS SECTION.

    This establishes new salary standards for exempt employees in Arizona.

  • Title 23, chapter 2, article 7

    B. THE SALARY REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO TEACHERS, LICENSED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, LICENSED ATTORNEYS OR OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EMPLOYED IN A PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY TO WHOM THE SALARY REQUIREMENTS FOR EXEMPTION UNDER THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR REGULATIONS THAT WERE IN EFFECT IN 2015 WOULD NOT HAVE APPLIED.

    This specifies categories of professionals who are exempt from the new salary requirements.

  • Title 23, chapter 2, article 7

    C. THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION PER WEEK UNDER SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION MAY BE EITHER: 1. FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS EMPLOYED IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY OR A PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY, PAID ON A FEE BASIS. 2. TRANSLATED INTO EQUIVALENT AMOUNTS AND PAID ON A BASIS THAT IS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME LONGER THAN ONE WEEK, INCLUDING BIWEEKLY, SEMIMONTHLY OR MONTHLY.

    This allows for flexibility in how the required salary can be paid.

  • Title 23, chapter 2, article 7

    D. ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SECTION, THE COMMISSION SHALL SET THE SALARY AMOUNT UNDER SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AT THE FORTIETH PERCENTILE OF WEEKLY EARNINGS OF FULL-TIME NONHOURLY WORKERS IN THE LOWEST-WAGE CENSUS REGION IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE UPDATE PUBLISHED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

    This mandates the setting and periodic adjustment of the salary threshold based on earnings data.

  • Title 23, chapter 2, article 7

    E. THE COMMISSION MAY ADOPT RULES TO IMPLEMENT THIS SECTION.

    This gives the commission authority to create rules for the implementation of the new provisions.
