Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations
Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you salaries, you can send your employer a written demand for payment of incomes by mail, e-mail, text message, or other electronic ways. A written demand might be sent out to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid salaries is filed 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 reviewed, a letter explaining the nature of the grievance and the quantities declared to be owed is sent out to the employer. To learn more about the examination process, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations - Employer FAQs web page.
Investigations Launched by the Division (" Direct Investigations"): The Division may direct investigations of possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to send a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to file an individual claim for overdue salaries, you must complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, an alleged company may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
