  • apprentices and learners;
  • employees of ambulance services;
  • non-college students working after school or during vacations;

Employers covered by New Mexico's wage payment law must pay wages in intervals of not more than 16 days. Wages earned from the first day to the 15th day of a month must be paid by the 25th day of that month (by the last day of the month if payroll originates out of state), and wages earned from the 16th day to the end of the month must be paid by the 10th day of the next month. Employers are permitted to pay employees more frequently. All employees are covered, except those specifically exempt by statute; among those exempt are agricultural employees.
