Idaho's final pay is 10 business days, with monthly minimum pay frequency.
Idaho's final pay rules require employers to pay terminated or resigning employees by the earlier of the next scheduled payday or within 10 business days of separation. This provision includes a unique demand clause where employees can request payment within 48 hours. Additionally, Idaho mandates a minimum monthly pay frequency.

Idaho requires final wages within 10 business days, or by next payday.
Idaho labor law outlines specific requirements for the timely payment of final wages to employees upon termination or resignation. It also sets a minimum frequency for regular wage payments, distinguishing it from states with more immediate final pay rules.
Idaho Code § 45-606. Payment of Wages on Termination of Employment.
Whenever an employer discharges an employee, the wages earned and unpaid at the time of discharge shall become due and payable not later than the earlier of the next regular payday or ten (10) business days after the date of discharge. In the case of an employee who quits, the wages earned and unpaid at the time of quitting shall become due and payable not later than the earlier of the next regular payday or ten (10) business days after the date of quitting. If an employee demands payment of wages due earlier than the time specified herein, the employer shall pay the employee within forty-eight (48) hours of such demand, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
Idaho Code § 45-608. Payment of Wages - Frequency.
Every employer shall pay all wages due to his employees at least once during each calendar month, on regular paydays designated in advance by the employer. No more than fifteen (15) days may elapse between the close of any pay period and the payday for that pay period.
Final Pay Provisions
Idaho's final pay statute applies to both involuntary terminations and voluntary resignations. Employers must provide all earned and unpaid wages by the sooner of the next regular payday or 10 business days following the employee's last day of employment. This is distinct from states like California or Colorado which mandate immediate payment upon termination. A critical component of Idaho's law is the employee's right to demand earlier payment, which, if made in writing, obligates the employer to pay within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. This demand clause places an additional, time-sensitive obligation on employers.
Pay Frequency Requirements
In addition to final pay, Idaho law mandates that employers pay wages at least once per calendar month. Employers must establish regular paydays in advance, and there can be no more than 15 days between the end of a pay period and the corresponding payday. This ensures a consistent and predictable income stream for employees, preventing excessively long intervals between wage disbursements.
