The proposed hike in the federal minimum wage may cause some Arizona employers to overlook the latest increase in the state’s minimum wage.

EXCEPTIONS; The state’s minimum wage does not apply to workers who are employed by a parent or a sibling; perform babysitting services in the employer’s home on a casual basis; employed by the State of Arizona or the federal government; or employed by a “small business” that has annual gross revenues under $500,000 and is exempt from paying minimum wage under Title 29, Section 206(a) of the U.S. Code (this exception is very limited).
