Oklahoma workers face broader minimum wage credits
Beginning November 1, 2025, employers may count tips, meals, or lodging toward minimum wage for workers covered by Oklahoma’s Minimum Wage Act. The law removes the former 50% cap on these credits. Under the main rule, employers must pay cash wages at least equal to the amount required by 29 C.F.R. § 531.50(a)(1). A separate rule allows these credits when Oklahoma’s minimum wage exceeds the current federal minimum wage. Affected workers may receive less cash pay because these items count toward their minimum wage.
