If you've earned wages and haven’t been paid, 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 (72 hours) 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.
