Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you incomes, you can send your company a composed need for payment of incomes by mail, employment e-mail, text, or other electronic methods. A written need may be sent out to the company at the very same time a Labor employment Standards Complaint Form for unsettled earnings 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 complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and reviewed, a letter describing the nature of the grievance and the amounts declared to be owed is sent to the company. To learn more about the examination procedure, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs webpage.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might conduct employer-wide direct investigations of potential violations of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to send a tip, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you want to submit an individual claim for unpaid earnings, you need to complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct investigation citation or several Notices of Assessment, an alleged company may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
