Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bruce P. Paolini, Virginia Beach, Virginia, appellant pro se.

Stoel Rives, LLP, Boise, for respondents. James Dale argued.


EISMANN, Justice.

We have accepted questions of law certified by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals asking us whether stock options constitute wages under Chapter 6 of Title 45, Idaho Code, and whether terminating an employee for trying to exercise his right to receive wages violates Idaho's public policy exception to at-will employment. We answer the first question in the negative, which renders the second question moot.
