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, employment or other electronic ways. A written demand may be sent to the employer at the 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 webpage.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and examined, a letter describing the nature of the problem and the quantities declared to be owed is sent out to the employer. To learn more about the examination process, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

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