Paying Terminated Employees in Oklahoma

Employers in Oklahoma must comply with these state requirements when making the final wage payment to terminated employees.

In Oklahoma, when an employee is terminated, the employer must pay the employee's wages in full, less offsets, at the next regularly designated payday for the pay period in which work was performed.

Payment must be made either through regular pay channels or by certified mail postmarked within the deadlines specified if requested by the employee, unless provided otherwise by an applicable collective bargaining agreement.
