Good to know

Oklahoma adopts the federal minimum wage by reference; the law has no dollar amount of its own.
Tipped employees: ODOL says employers must pay at least $2.13 cash (tip credit up to $5.12) for employees under federal wage law. For employers covered only by the state law, DOL says the tip credit can be no more than 50% of the minimum wage ($3.62), which means at least $3.63 cash.
The state law leaves out, among others, part-time employees working under 25 hours a week, people under 18 who aren't high school or vocational graduates, and students under 22 (ODOL poster, 40 O.S. 197.4).
No change scheduled. Oklahoma law bars cities from setting their own minimum wage.
