Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you earnings, you can send your company a composed need for payment of salaries by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic means. A written demand may be sent out to the company at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled wages is submitted with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and reviewed, a letter explaining the nature of the grievance and the quantities alleged to be owed is sent to the company. For more details about the examination process, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might carry out employer-wide direct investigations of potential offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to send a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to submit a private claim for overdue salaries, you need to complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, a supposed company might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
