Wage Statement Information Required in Iowa

Employers in Iowa must comply with these state requirements relating to wage statements.

In Iowa, within 10 days of a request by an employee, an employer must furnish a written, itemized statement listing earnings and deductions made for each pay period, together with explanation of how they were computed.

Employers need only honor one request per calendar year unless the rate of earnings, hours or deductions change during the calendar year. Each change entitles the employee to another request for an itemized statement.

An employee hired after June 30, 2005, may be required to participate in direct deposit of wages as a condition of employment, unless certain conditions exist.
