Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations
Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you wages, you can send your employer a written demand for payment of salaries by mail, email, text message, or other electronic methods. A written demand might be sent out to the company at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid wages is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be discovered on our Demands, employment Complaints, Responses, and employment Settlements webpage.
Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and examined, a letter explaining the nature of the problem and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent to the company. For additional information about the investigation process, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs webpage.
Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might conduct employer-wide direct examinations of prospective infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to submit a tip, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to file an individual claim for overdue wages, you must complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, employment and Settlements website. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
