In Arizona, employers have the right to investigate a theft, and parents have the right and responsibility to control their minor children. Parents also have the right to information about the minor child's actions including work history. While employers might not have time to go out of their way to inform a minor's parents, it might be necessary if an employer is seeking reimbursement from a loss incurred because of the minor's actions. An employer may want the parents to pay for the loss, or would want some assurance that the minor would pay out of any earnings from a subsequent job. If an employer seeks to have charges filed against a minor the minor's parents would be notified.
