Yes, you can be fired without warning since Arizona is an “at-will employment” state per A.R.S. § 23-1501. However, this does not give your employer the authority to terminate your employment for any reason at all.
Overview. Known for its business-friendly environment, Arizona's labor laws make it attractive for businesses to function in the state while still maintaining essential worker protections.
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.
Employment in Arizona is regulated by both federal and state law. Some issues, such as union membership and minimum wage, are regulated by federal and state laws, whereas other issues are addressed only by federal law or state law, but not both.
Are 15-minute breaks required by law in Arizona? In Arizona, the state does not mandate 15-minute breaks for employees. However, employers may provide such breaks as part of their company policies. Short breaks, around 5 to 20 minutes, must be considered as compensable work time.
There are no federal employment laws that prohibit employers from terminating employees over the phone.
At-will employment: Arizona follows the at-will employment doctrine, which means that either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. However, certain exceptions apply, such as terminations based on discriminatory or retaliatory motives.
23-1501 - Severability of employment relationships; protection from retaliatory discharges; exclusivity of statutory remedies in employment.
While a termination letter is considered good practice, there are no federal or Arizona state laws that require it. In fact, because Arizona is an “at-will” employment state, an employer is under no obligation to provide any reasoning for terminating an employee.
