Proposition 206 also requires Arizona employers to provide earned paid sick time. Workers accrue 1 hour per 30 hours worked, capped at 40 hours per year (24 hours for employers under 15). State law preempts Maricopa County local rules.
ARS Section 23-372 (Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act) requires every Arizona employer to provide earned paid sick time. Employers with 15 or more employees must allow accrual up to 40 hours; smaller employers cap at 24 hours. Sick time may be used for the workers own illness, family illness, doctor visits, domestic violence, or public health emergencies. Unused hours roll over to the next year, though employers may cap annual use. Employers may require notice for foreseeable use only. Maricopa County and its cities cannot impose higher local floors on private employers; HB 2579 (2016) preemption bars local labor mandates. Industrial Commission enforces.
Denying earned sick time, retaliating against users, or failing to track accrual exposes employers to back pay, restoration of leave, civil penalties, plus liquidated damages and attorney fees under ARS 23-364. Workers complain to Industrial Commission or superior court.
