Timing Requirements for Wage Payments in Utah

Utah's wage payment law covers all employers except farm, dairy, agricultural, viticultural, or horticultural pursuits, banks, mercantile houses, stock or poultry raising, and employers of domestic service, or any other employment where a contract exists providing for different payment terms.

Wages must be paid at least semimonthly with a 10-day holdover permitted. Employees on yearly salary must be paid at least monthly with seven days holdover permitted. Regular paydays must be designated in advance. Payments at more frequent intervals are permitted.
