Idaho does not have overtime laws that are different from federal overtime law.

The current minimum wage in Idaho is $7.25 per hour, which is equal to the federal minimum wage of $7.25. The minimum wage for tipped employees is $3.35 an hour.

Idaho does not have any meal or rest break requirements.

You can electronically file a wage claim with the Idaho Department Labor’s Wage & Hour Section. Other complaints can be filed with the Idaho Department of labor as well. 

If you have a wage/hour complaint, do not delay in contacting the Wage & Hour Section to file a claim. There are strict time limits in which wage claims must be filed. In order for the agency to act on your behalf, you must file the complaint within two years from the date that the claim arose.

As you might have other legal claims with shorter deadlines, do not wait to file your claim until your time limit is close to expiring. You may wish to consult with an attorney prior to filing your claim, but it is not necessary to have an attorney to file your claim.

In Idaho, employees can file a private lawsuit to recover unpaid wages, liquidated damages, attorney’s fees and costs.
