Unpaid Wages Legal Steps

Summary

If your former employer in Oklahoma hasnt paid your wages, you can file a wage dispute with the Department of Labor. Employers must pay wages within 11 days of the end of the pay period. If you win a determination, you can enforce the judgment by filing a Writ of Execution with the court. The court may direct the sheriff to seize the employers property if necessary. You can file this yourself, but hiring a lawyer may help navigate the process more effectively. Contact the Oklahoma County Courthouse for more information.
