If you've earned wages and haven’t been paid on time, the Oklahoma Department of Labor may be able to help.
When Are Wages Considered Late?
Oklahoma law requires employers to set regular pay dates within 11 days after the end of a pay period. Employers then have 3 additional days after the scheduled pay date to issue payment. If you haven’t received your wages after this window, you have the right to file a wage claim.
What We Investigate
The Wage & Hour Unit reviews wage disputes under Oklahoma law, including:
Unpaid or late wages
Missed final paychecks
Minimum wage concerns
Overtime (if covered under state law)
Unpaid commissions or bonuses
How to File a Wage Claim
You can submit your claim in one of two ways—but please only complete one form:

Pay Stub Claim
💡 Need pay stubs but your employer won’t provide them?
You have the right to access your wage records. If your employer refuses to provide your pay stubs or online access to view them, you may submit a Pay Stub Claim Form to request assistance.
Discriminatory Wage Claim
ODOL also investigates wage disparities based on sex. If you believe you are being paid unfairly due to your gender, you may file a Discriminatory Wage Claim using a separate form designed specifically for these cases.
