Contingent Workforce/Independent Contractor Rules - Arizona

Arizona’s minimum wage law relies on the federal FLSA in determining independent contractor status. A worker who is an independent contractor can execute a Declaration of Independent Business Status to help strengthen the case for contractor status.

Employee: Any person who is or was employed by an employer but does not include any person who is employed by a parent or a sibling, or who is employed performing babysitting services in the employer’s home on a casual basis.
