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 earnings by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic ways. A written need may be sent out to the company at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid salaries is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and reviewed, a letter describing the nature of the problem and the quantities alleged to be owed is sent to the employer. To find out more about the examination process, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs web page.

Investigations Launched by the Division ( » Direct Investigations »): The Division may carry out employer-wide direct investigations of prospective infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you want to send a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to file a specific claim for overdue salaries, you must submit a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, an alleged employer might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
