DOL footnotes for Iowa
- 6 Iowa. Employers are required to pay most employees via a regular payday at least biweekly, semimonthly or monthly. Any predictable and reliable pay schedule is permitted as long as employees get paid at least monthly and no later than 12 days (excluding Sundays and legal holidays) from the end of the period when the wages were earned. This can be waived by written agreement; employees on commission have different requirements.
