What does it mean to be held in âcontempt of courtâ? In a personal injury or other type of trial, a judge may issue an order to hold a party, an attorney, or another person in contempt of court if that person has been disobedient, disrespectful, or acted in another way that disrupted the courtâs proceedings.
Arizona employers would be required to pay a minimum wage of $12 an hour by 2020, if an initiative qualifies for the ballot and passes.

State minimum wages have largely outpaced the federal minimum, which was flat for almost a decade, starting in 1997. When state wages are different from the federal level, the higher wage prevails. In Colorado, the minimum wage is $7.02 per hour and will be adjusted yearly in January for inflation. For employees who regularly are tipped, the minimum wage is $4 per hour, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. State minimum wages range from Californiaâs $8 an hour to Floridaâs $6.79, just above the new federal rate.
