Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

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

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and examined, a letter explaining the nature of the complaint and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent out to the employer. To find out more about the examination procedure, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs web page.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might carry out employer-wide direct investigations of possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to submit a specific claim for overdue earnings, you should fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct investigation citation or one or employment more Notices of Assessment, an alleged company might submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
