Phoenix, Arizona Nov 28, 2025  – A wage dispute in Maricopa County, Arizona, involving a former employee of Oxford Bank Corporation, has advanced to a new procedural stage. The plaintiff has sought permission to file a second amended complaint.

This legal action originates from an earlier wage order issued by the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA), which mandated Oxford Bank Corporation to pay $29,826.25 to the ex-employee following a determination on a retaliation-based wage claim. The payment was reportedly made subsequent to the legal deadline, leading the plaintiff to pursue treble damages under Arizona’s wage statutes.

According to court documents, the plaintiff’s recent motion aims to clarify and elaborate on factual claims using newly acquired information, and to counter arguments presented in the defendant’s prior motion to dismiss. The filing contends that additional amendments are necessary for “full and fair adjudication of all issues presented under Arizona’s wage protection statutes.”

The motion for leave to file a second amended complaint is currently under judicial review by the Maricopa County Superior Court.

“This case has consistently focused on accountability and the fundamental principle that employees should not be forced to overcome numerous procedural obstacles to enforce legitimate wage orders or to obtain justice,” said the plaintiff. The plaintiff added, “I believe this case underscores the repercussions of delayed wage compliance, which is why I have pursued every available legal avenue.”

Public records from the court and commission confirm that the ICA order was issued earlier in the year, with full payment due by March 25, 2025. The employer remitted the payment on April 7, 2025.

All details cited in this release originate from public records accessible via the Industrial Commission of Arizona and the Maricopa County Superior Court docket.
