Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you wages, you can send your company a composed need for payment of salaries by mail, email, 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 salaries is filed with the Division. The Labor employment Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and evaluated, a letter explaining the nature of the grievance and the amounts declared to be owed is sent to the employer. To learn more about the examination procedure, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs webpage.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might carry out employer-wide direct investigations of possible infractions of Colorado wage and employment 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 file a specific claim for overdue wages, you must submit a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, employment and Settlements website. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
