Oklahoma Overtime Laws 2026
Oklahoma labor laws generally follow the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). There are no specific state laws requiring daily overtime or double time.
Key Rules:
- Weekly Overtime: Employees are entitled to 1.5x their regular rate for any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek.
- No Daily Overtime: Working more than 8 hours in a day does not trigger overtime pay in Oklahoma, unless the weekly total exceeds 40.
- Minimum Wage: As of 2026, Oklahoma generally defaults to the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr) unless recent legislation has changed.
How to Calculate:
if you work 45 hours in Oklahoma City at $13.00/hr:
- Regular Pay: 40 hours × $13 = $520
- Overtime Rate: $13 × 1.5 = $19.50/hr
- Overtime Pay: 5 hours × $19.50 = $97.50
- Total Pay: $520 + $97.50 = $617.50
