Final paycheck · Arizona
Arizona rule applied to your case
Final pay due
7 work days
Within 7 working days, or by the end of the next regular pay period, whichever is sooner — a discharged employee is "paid wages due him within seven working days or the end of the next regular pay period, whichever is sooner" (§23-353). Working-day counts exclude weekends (and not holidays here).
Late-pay consequence
Treble damages
Under §23-355, an employer that fails to pay wages due is liable for treble (3×) the amount of the unpaid wages. A late final payment under §23-353 is also a petty offense. This is not a per-day penalty.

Enter your last day worked to apply the rule to your dates.

This is the Arizona rule applied to what you entered — a plain summary of the deadline, not a determination that any employer did or did not pay on time.

Informational only, not legal advice. Final-pay rules turn on details this summary cannot weigh (payroll schedule, disputed amounts, deductions). See the full rules and citations on the Arizona final paycheck reference, cited to A.R.S. §23-353; §23-355.

How Arizona final paycheck timing works

Arizona is one of the few states where quitting and being fired carry different deadlines, and the fired rule has a twist. If you are discharged, your wages are due within seven working days or by the end of the next regular pay period — whichever comes first. Note "working" days, not calendar, and note the "whichever is sooner" branch, which can pull the deadline earlier than seven days. If you quit, the deadline is simply the next regular payday. The penalty is a multiplier, not a per-day clock: under §23-355, an employer who fails to pay is liable for treble the unpaid wages, and a late final payment is also a petty offense.

This tool applies the Arizona rule to your last day worked. It is informational only and not legal advice — a "next regular payday" rule depends on your payroll schedule, and disputed amounts or deductions can change things. For the full rules, penalties, and citations, see the Arizona final paycheck reference.
