Where Do I File a Wage Claim?

Find your route

How it works

1. Choose your state — Texas gives you 180 days from when wages were due; New York gives you 6 years; Florida gives you no agency at all.
2. Read the four lines: agency, form, deadline, and first step. Oregon's deadline line reads "no published BOLI deadline" on purpose — BOLI's current page states none, and the court tracks are listed separately.
3. Open your state's guide for the full process — what to attach, where to send it, and what happens after you file.

Florida is the case in this directory: no statewide agency process exists. The finder says so plainly and points at the real routes — the 15-day pre-suit notice under Fla. Stat. 448.110, then a lawsuit, or a county ordinance such as Pinellas County's — instead of inventing a form. Oregon is the case in this directory: BOLI's current complaint page states no filing deadline, so the finder displays 'no published BOLI deadline' and notes the separate court tracks — 6 years for regular and minimum-wage claims, 2 years for overtime — instead of repeating the stale 180-day figure found on older secondary pages. No. It names the agency, form, deadline, and first step from official sources, and each state guide explains the full process. For a dispute about your specific situation, talk to a lawyer or your state labor agency.

The state guides behind this tool — with the agency, form, deadline, and process for each state — are in the Wage Claim Filing by State directory.
