What Is the Minimum Wage in Idaho?

As of now, Idaho follows the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. However, some employees may be entitled to higher wages depending on their role or employer policies. If you believe you are being paid below the legal minimum, we can help you understand your options.

Yes. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees in Idaho must receive 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Some exemptions apply, so it’s important to verify your classification.

Idaho employees have the right to a safe and healthy work environment. If you notice hazards or unsafe practices, you can file a complaint with the Idaho Occupational Safety and Health Administration (IOSHA). Our firm can assist with reporting and ensure you’re protected from retaliation.

No. It is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for asserting their workplace rights, including filing complaints about wage violations or unsafe conditions. If you’ve faced termination, demotion, or other forms of retaliation, you may have a legal claim.

Although Idaho is an “at-will” employment state, employers cannot fire employees for illegal reasons—such as discrimination, retaliation, or reporting violations. If you suspect your termination was unlawful, our attorneys can help you evaluate your case and pursue justice.
