Oklahoma wage payment and collection law

Beyond the minimum wage and overtime rate, Oklahoma has its own wage-payment statute governing when workers must be paid, what happens to a final paycheck, and how to recover wages an employer has not paid. The essentials, drawn from Oklahoma Department of Labor (ODOL), Wage and Hour Unit, are below.

How often wages must be paid
40 O.S. §165.2: pay at least twice each calendar month on regular paydays (exempt/public employees at least monthly); no more than 11 days between pay-period end and payday; itemized deduction statement each payment.
Final paycheck after separation
40 O.S. §165.3: on termination, wages in full at the next regular payday; willful withholding (not in bona fide dispute) makes employer liable for liquidated damages of 2%/day capped at unpaid wages.
How to file a wage claim
File a Wage & Hour claim with the ODOL Wage and Hour Unit (oklahoma.gov/labor); it investigates unpaid-wage complaints and pursues payment.
Other state-specific rules
Enforcement under §165.7; penalties §§165.2a/165.8. State minimum wage under the Oklahoma Minimum Wage Act (40 O.S. §197.2).
