Recent legislation has impacted paycheck deductions for political purposes after October 1, 2011. Under A.R.S. §23-361.02, public or private employees are now prohibited from making deductions for political purposes from an employee’s paycheck unless the employee gives written or electronic authorization on a yearly basis. Violation of this law can result in at least a $10,000 civil penalty for each violation made by the employer.
