If you are owed wages
Where to file a wage claim in Idaho
In Idaho a wage claim can go to the state: Wage and hour claims, Labor.Idaho.Gov takes claims under state law, which often covers more than the federal rules. The federal route is the Division's page on how to file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division with what to send and where. The Division also keeps a search of back wages owed to workers it collected and could not deliver.
Straight answers
Idaho wage and hour records, questions
How many wage and hour cases does the Labor Department record in Idaho?
1,972 closed investigations of 1,700 employers between fiscal 2005 and the April 22, 2026 snapshot, 1,626 of them with a violation found, with $18,100,020 in back wages agreed and $4,957,810 in civil money penalties.
Which Idaho employer owed the most back wages?
Northern Stone Supply of Oakley, with $610,117 agreed across 1 case, which is the top of the table above.
Does this record include claims filed with the state?
No. It is the federal file alone: investigations the Wage and Hour Division closed. Claims filed with a state labor office, private lawsuits and settlements are not in it, so an employer missing here is not an employer with a clean record.
What does back wages agreed mean?
The amount the employer agreed to pay the workers the Division found were owed, computed at the federal minimum wage and overtime rates. It is not a court judgment, and the file records the agreement, not whether every dollar was paid.
How current is the record?
The Department refreshes the file about once a quarter. This page reads the snapshot dated April 22, 2026, whose latest closed case is from March 2026.

Where this record comes from
The record comes from the Wage and Hour Division compliance action data published by the U.S. Department of Labor, snapshot dated April 22, 2026 and read for this page on November 5, 2026, counted here by employer, year, industry, county and city for Idaho alone. The Wage and Hour Division made the findings. The Idaho public records page lists the state's other record offices, and the national wage theft records page ranks every state.

It comes from the Labor Department's closed case file as the Department publishes it, which can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and a case on this record is not a court judgment and not an admission by the employer.
