Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you salaries, you can send your company a written demand for payment of earnings by mail, e-mail, text message, or other electronic ways. A written demand may be sent out to the company at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled salaries 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 received and evaluated, a letter describing the nature of the problem and the quantities alleged to be owed is sent out to the employer. For additional information about the examination procedure, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might perform employer-wide direct examinations of possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you want to submit a tip, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to submit a private claim for overdue salaries, you should submit a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and employment Settlements website. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
