Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you earnings, you can send your employer a written demand for payment of wages by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic ways. A written demand might be sent to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled salaries is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be discovered on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and examined, a letter explaining the nature of the problem and the quantities alleged to be owed is sent out to the company. To find out more about the examination process, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division may perform employer-wide direct investigations of potential offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit an idea, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to submit a private claim for unpaid incomes, you need to submit a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, an alleged employer might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
