Idaho has no statewide paid sick leave or paid family leave mandate, and Idaho Code 44-2602 and following sections preempt cities like Boise from requiring private employers to provide paid time off.
Idaho Code 44-2602 and the broader employment preemption framework prevent cities from mandating employer-provided benefits beyond state law. Idaho has no statewide paid sick leave, paid family leave, or mandatory vacation requirements for private employers. Federal Family and Medical Leave Act protections give 12 weeks of unpaid leave at employers with 50 or more workers, and federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act accommodations apply, but no Idaho-level paid leave exists. Boise can offer paid leave to its own city employees and to direct city contractors, but cannot impose paid sick or family leave on private restaurants, retail, or service businesses operating within city limits.
Cities adopting private-sector paid leave mandates would face state-court preemption challenges; employers must still comply with federal FMLA and ADA accommodation rules where applicable.
