Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you salaries, you can send your company a written need for payment of incomes by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic ways. A written demand may be sent out to the company at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled incomes is filed with the Division. The Labor 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 gotten and job evaluated, a letter describing the nature of the problem and the quantities alleged to be owed is sent out to the employer. For more information about the investigation procedure, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division may carry out employer-wide direct examinations of potential infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to file a private claim for unsettled salaries, you must fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct investigation citation or several Notices of Assessment, a supposed company might submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
