Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might perform employer-wide direct examinations of possible infractions of Colorado wage and hour law.

If you wish to submit an individual claim for unsettled incomes, you must complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, employment Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, an alleged company may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
