A written need might be sent out to the company at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled salaries is filed with the Division. The Labor employment 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 evaluated, a letter describing the nature of the complaint and employment the amounts declared to be owed is sent out to the company. For more details about the examination procedure, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

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