Generally, it's illegal for an employer to fire an employee for making a wage and hour complaint. So, if an employer has terminated you because you made such a complaint, a wrongful termination action may be on the table. For the most clarity, though, it'd be wise to consult with a local Oklahoma labor lawyer. They'll have more experience with situations like this one, and they'll be better versed in how to respond to a wrongful termination if one has occurred here. As for how to avoid having to move - it's tough to say. But, it might be possible to negotiate a longer stay or to push a former employer to pay for amounts they were already responsible for.
