Wyoming's state minimum wage ($5.15/hr, W.S. § 27-4-202) is below the federal $7.25 FLSA floor — Wyoming is one of only two states with a sub-federal state rate (along with Georgia) — and in practice nearly all Wyoming workers receive the federal floor via FLSA coverage.

The federal minimum of $7.25 is the rate that applies to nearly all Wyoming workers. Wyoming's statutory rate of $5.15 is below the federal FLSA floor of $7.25, so it governs only the narrow set of employers the FLSA does not cover. Source.

Wyoming wage payment and collection law

Beyond the minimum wage and overtime rate, Wyoming 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 WY Dept of Workforce Services (DWS), Labor Standards Division, are below.

How to file a wage claim
File a formal Claim for Wages online with the DWS Labor Standards Division for work performed in Wyoming; the Department may collect on the claimant's behalf and negotiate partial settlement (10 days to object). Out-of-state or very old claims go to US DOL.
Other state-specific rules
No general state overtime requirement for most employees; overtime applies on public-works projects. Certain wage deductions allowed when rules followed.
