Your no-tax-on-overtime deduction
Wyoming has no income tax on wages — overtime is untaxed by the state.
Claims for wages
The Department of Workforce Services’ Labor Standards office takes claims for unpaid wages through an online portal. If a settlement is proposed, you have 10 days to object in writing.
The same office investigates discrimination complaints, enforces Wyoming’s youth employment rules and runs resident contractor certification, so a single contact point covers most workplace questions that are not about overtime.
Federal rules do the rest
With no state overtime law and no state income tax, a Wyoming worker’s overtime pay and its tax treatment are both decided federally — including the deduction for the half-time premium.
