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 salaries by mail, email, text message, or other electronic means. A written need may be sent out to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid salaries 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 gotten and reviewed, a letter describing the nature of the grievance and the quantities alleged to be owed is sent to the employer. For additional information about the examination process, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might conduct employer-wide direct examinations of possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to submit a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to file a specific claim for unpaid incomes, you need to submit 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 employer might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
