Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you salaries, you can send your employer a written need for employment payment of salaries by mail, email, text message, or other ways. A written demand may be sent to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for employment unsettled salaries is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, employment Responses, and Settlements website.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and evaluated, a letter describing the nature of the problem and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent out to the company. For additional information about the investigation procedure, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might carry out employer-wide direct examinations of prospective violations of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to submit an idea, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to file an individual claim for overdue incomes, you should 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, a supposed company might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
