Arizona Income Tax Withholding

The Arizona Tax Act of 1987 requires employers to withhold state income tax from the wages of residents and non-residents and to remit the amounts withheld to the Arizona Department of Revenue.

Arizona has reciprocal taxation agreements with California, the District of Columbia, Indiana, Oregon and Virginia. Residents of any of these states who work in Arizona can request an exemption from income tax withholding in Arizona by filing Form WEC, Withholding Exemption Certificate.

Part-time or seasonal agricultural workers are exempt unless the workers' principal duties involve operating mechanically driven devices. However, persons engaged in other agriculture-related employment, which is not seasonal, are subject to withholding.

Arizona Voting Rights:

Employer Right to Schedule Voting Hours           Yes

Pay Deduction for Voting Time Leave                  Prohibited

Arizona requires employers to allow employees sufficient leave time to vote. The law does not specify the exact amount of leave time that must be granted. Unless they have a different agreement with employees, employers can grant time off at the beginning or end of a regular work shift, whichever gives employees the most time for voting and the least time away from work.
