Question: I got an interview at this Job about a month and half ago I worked there 4 half days. Right after the 4th day she than told me I don't need you anymore. I'm not hiring you. Told me she had my hours written down. She's gonna pay me sometime soon. I texted her a week later asking what's going on she said she's gonna talk to the owner. Didn't hear back. I than contacted her last Monday and she told me she was not gonna pay me since I wasn't there more than two weeks. That's illegal right ?? What can I do to get my money ?

Answer: Wage and Hour Laws require an employer to pay an employee for all time worked. In Arizona, an employer must pay someone who has been terminated within seven of the employees' working days or the next payday, whichever is sooner.
