FAQ

Like many other states, Arizona is an “at-will” employment state. This generally means that employers can terminate employees at any time for any reason—or even no reason at all—without incurring legal liability. Likewise, an employee can quit at any time without providing a reason or advanced notice.

The law is known as the Arizona Employment Protection Act (AEPA), and it provides that an employer violates the AEPA if an employee is terminated in retaliation for the following. The refusal by the employee to commit an act or omission that would violate the Constitution of Arizona or the statutes of this state.

For nearly 80 years, Arizona has been a right-to-work state. Thanks to Article 25 of our state's constitution and state statute, Arizona workers have been protected from compulsory union membership as a condition of employment.

Arizona termination laws Arizona is an employment-at-will state, which means that without a written employee contract, employees can be terminated for any reason at any time, provided that the reason is not discriminatory and that the employer is not retaliating against the employee for a rightful action.

Typically, a document that includes an offer, acceptance, and appropriate consideration will be considered legally binding. In most cases, a contract is binding in Arizona even if the parties signed it in another state. Depending on the situation, it is best to consult a lawyer who has experience in contract law.

The Legal Arizona Workers Act allows a County Attorney to bring a civil suit to suspend or revoke state and local Arizona business licenses if a business intentionally or knowingly employed non-citizens that do not have the right to work in the United States (an "unauthorized alien").

The short answer is that an at-will employee is not required to provide two weeks' notice before quitting. Even when there's an offer letter or employee manual that requests an employee to give two weeks' notice before leaving, this doesn't change the at-will status of the employee.

Permanent employment contract In the US, a permanent employee contract, sometimes called an open-ended contract, generally refers to an agreement between an employer and an employee where the employee is hired indefinitely. They are the most common type of contract and can be used for full- and part-time positions.
