Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations
Demands & Complaints for employment Wages: If an employer owes you earnings, you can send your company a written need for payment of salaries by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic ways. A written need may be sent out to the employer at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for overdue wages is submitted with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website.
Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and examined, a letter describing the nature of the complaint and the quantities declared to be owed is sent to the employer. To learn more about the examination process, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations - Employer FAQs webpage.
Investigations Launched by the Division (" Direct Investigations"): The Division may conduct employer-wide direct investigations of possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to send a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you want to file a specific claim for unpaid earnings, you need to fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, a supposed company may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
