During these challenging time the Oklahoma Department of Labor (“ODOL”) remains committed to “preserving, protecting, and promoting the welfare of Oklahoma wage earners” while “serving as an advocate for employees, employers, and the public.”
However, at this date many ODOL employees continue to work remotely on a rotating schedule to ensure adequate social distancing and to limit opportunities for potential exposure to the COVID-19 coronavirus. Because the ODOL’s office is not fully staffed, the public to should be aware that some services may be delayed slightly. Your understanding and patience is appreciated.
To protect against any additional spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, the public is encouraged to continue to submit license applications and renewals through the ODOL’s website at www.ok.gov/odol, with payments and accompanying documentation being mailed to the respective agency program at: Oklahoma Department of Labor, 3017 N Stiles, Ste. 100, Oklahoma City, OK 73105.
ODOL hopes to continue to answer public questions and concerns via email. Questions regarding licensing should be emailed to odol.licesening@labor.ok.gov. Questions regarding outstanding wage claims and/or general wage/benefits concerns may be emailed to wageclaims@labor.ok.gov. All other concerns, involving maters over which the ODOL has jurisdiction, may be emailed to labor.commissioner@labor.ok.gov.
