a. Actually paid to the employee in accordance with the employer's usual and customary payday as established by law or past practice; or
b. Due the employee in accordance with the employer's usual and customary payday as established by law or past practice but not actually paid on such date because of circumstances beyond the control of the employer or the employee; or
c. Not paid on the usual or customary payday as established by law or past practice but set apart on the employer's books as an amount due and payable or otherwise recognized as a specific and ascertainable amount due and payable to the worker in accordance with an agreement or contract of hire under which services were rendered. Ref. Section 72-1367, Idaho Code.
02.Draws and Advances on Wages. Payments to employees made prior to regular or established paydays will be assignable and reportable during the quarter in which they would have been paid unless a practice is established whereby all employees or a class of employees are given an opportunity to take a "draw" by which such action, another "regular" payday appears to have been created.
03.Judgments of Wages. Amounts received as a result of labor relations awards or judgments for back pay, or for disputed wages, constitute wages and will be reported in the quarter or quarters in which the award or judgment has become final, after all appeals have been exhausted, or the quarter or quarters to which the court assigns the wages, if different. Ref. Section 72-1328, Idaho Code.
04.Awarded Damages Against Employers. Amounts awarded to the claimant as a penalty or damages against the employer, other than for lost wages, do not constitute wages. Ref. Section 72-1328, Idaho Code.
