Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you incomes, you can send your company a written demand for of wages by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic means. A written demand may be sent to the company at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid salaries is submitted 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 total Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and evaluated, a letter explaining 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 review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs webpage.

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 wish to send a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to submit an individual claim for unsettled salaries, you should submit 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 employer may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
