Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you incomes, you can send your company a composed demand for payment of salaries by mail, email, text message, job or other electronic methods. A written need might be sent to the employer at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled incomes is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be discovered 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 discussing the nature of the problem and the quantities declared to be owed is sent out to the employer. To learn more about the examination process, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations FAQs webpage.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division may perform employer-wide direct examinations of potential violations of Colorado wage and hour law. If you want to submit a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to submit a private claim for unsettled wages, you must fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page. To appeal a direct investigation citation or several Notices of Assessment, an alleged company may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
