The accrued, unused balance on your last pay stub or in the HR portal. One vacation day is usually 8 hours.
Salaried? Divide your annual salary by 2,080 (52 weeks of 40 hours) for an hourly figure.
In Idaho, what the handbook, offer letter, or contract says about unused vacation at separation is what controls. Read it before counting on a payout, and keep a copy: a promise in writing is what makes the amount collectible.
Enter your unused hours and your rate to see the Idaho rule on your numbers.
When the final check itself is due is a separate deadline: the Idaho final paycheck checker shows it for a quit and for a firing.
Informational only, not legal advice. Sick leave, commissions, and bonuses follow different rules, and collective bargaining agreements can change the answer. For the timing rules and citations on the check itself, see the Idaho final paycheck reference; this record is cited to No Idaho statute addresses vacation payout at separation. Idaho Code §45-606 covers timing of final wages generally..
How the Idaho rule works
No Idaho statute says whether unused vacation must be paid out when a job ends. It comes down to what the employer promised in a policy or contract, enforced under ordinary contract law. Idaho Code §45-606 sets the deadline for final wages after separation; a policy or contract that promises a vacation payout makes that amount wages payable on the statutory schedule.
This checker states the rule and prices your unused hours; it is informational only and not legal advice, and it does not decide whether your employer owes you. The other half of the question, when the final check itself must arrive, is covered by the Idaho final paycheck checker and the Idaho final paycheck reference.
