Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you wages, you can send your company a written need for payment of salaries by mail, email, text message, or other electronic methods. A written need may be sent to the company at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for overdue wages is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be discovered on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and evaluated, a letter discussing the nature of the complaint and the quantities declared to be owed is sent out to the employer. To learn more about the investigation procedure, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (“ Direct Investigations“): The Division might carry out employer-wide direct investigations of potential violations of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit a tip, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to file a private claim for unsettled wages, you need to submit a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct investigation citation or several Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
