Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you wages, you can send your employer a composed need for payment of salaries by mail, email, text, or other electronic ways. A written need may be sent to the employer at the very 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 gotten and evaluated, a letter discussing the nature of the complaint and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent to the employer. For additional information about the examination process, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might perform employer-wide direct investigations of possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit a tip, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you want to submit a private claim for unpaid incomes, you need to complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct investigation citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, a supposed company may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
