FAQ
Arizona follows the “at-will” employment doctrine, allowing employers to terminate employees without cause as long as the termination is not discriminatory or retaliatory.
It makes no difference how long you've been with a company so yes, it's legal to lay off any and everyone without severance. The exceptions: a union agreement requiring severance, a personal contract calling for a severance. This is usually only for executives and ``key'' people.
What is the downside to severance? The downside to severance includes financial drawbacks such as loss of steady income, potential loss of benefits, and uncertainty about future job prospects, as well as the impact on retirement savings and benefits.
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.
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.
Arizona law provides that an employer may terminate an employee at any time. The term is called “at-will employment.” The legal basis for this is that the employment relationship is considered to be like a contract and at any time either party may decide to end the employment relationship. (A.R.S. § 23-1501).
