Indiana wage payment and collection law

The essentials, drawn from Indiana Department of Labor (IDOL), Wage and Hour Division, are below.

How to file a wage claim
File online with IDOL at wc.dol.in.gov. Not processed if employer has no Indiana location, claimant was an independent contractor/owner, employer in bankruptcy, private suit already begun, or claimant worked for the State. Up to 90 days; employer gets two weeks (+1) to pay or dispute.
Other state-specific rules
Wage-assignment/deduction limits: uniforms/equipment up to lesser of $2,500/yr ($48.08/wk) or 5% of weekly disposable earnings, and cannot drop pay below minimum wage. State minimum $7.25.
