Idaho paystub law
Idaho Code § 45-609 requires employers to provide a statement of deductions to each employee with each wage payment. While less prescriptive than California or New York statutes, most Idaho employers furnish full itemized stubs as a matter of practice. The Idaho Department of Labor enforces wage payment violations through the Wage and Hour section. Paydays must be at least monthly statewide; most private employers run bi-weekly or semi-monthly cycles.
Boise's rental market has tightened significantly with tech-driven population growth — landlords typically require 3× rent gross plus 30 days of stubs. Tech employees at HP, Micron, and Clearwater Analytics receive standard institutional paystubs. Agricultural workers and food processing employees in the Magic Valley (Twin Falls area) and Treasure Valley have more variable income; many landlords accept seasonal employment letters alongside stubs.
