Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you incomes, you can send your employer a written need for payment of earnings by mail, e-mail, text message, or other electronic ways. A written need might be sent out to the company at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for overdue wages 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 received and reviewed, a letter discussing the nature of the problem and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent out to the company. For more info about the examination process, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs webpage.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division may conduct employer-wide direct examinations of prospective violations of Colorado wage and hour law. If you want to send a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to submit an individual claim for unsettled wages, you need to complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct investigation citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, an alleged company may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
