Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you earnings, you can send your employer a written need for payment of salaries by mail, email, text message, or other electronic means. A written demand might be sent to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for overdue incomes is submitted with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be discovered on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and reviewed, a letter explaining the nature of the complaint and the amounts declared to be owed is sent out to the company. For additional information about the examination procedure, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs web page.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might perform employer-wide direct examinations of possible violations 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 an individual claim for unsettled earnings, you should fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, an alleged employer may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
