overtime pay; law enforcement

HB 2668 amends Arizona law to establish overtime pay rules for certain law enforcement and probation officers. It requires employers to compensate eligible officers (including police, peace officers, and correctional security personnel) at 1.5 times their regular pay or provide 1.5 hours of compensatory time off for each overtime hour worked, unless federal law already mandates higher rates. Probation officers specifically must be compensated for hours worked beyond 80 in a two-week period. The bill clarifies that "hours worked" includes principal job duties but excludes non-compensable activities under federal law, and it does not override existing agreements between employers and officers.
