Yes, the The Utah Payment of Wages Act, Utah Code Ann. ?34-28-1, Section 34-28-3 (1)(a) require employers to pay the wages earned by an employee at regular intervals that cannot exceed semimonthly, and on the days that the employer *designates in advance* as the regular payday.

Not normally. Of course, if there is no money to pay the checks, that could be a problem. Report the employer to the Idaho Department of Labor.
