Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you earnings, you can send your employer a written demand for payment of wages by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic ways. A written demand might be sent out to the company at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid incomes 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 total Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and evaluated, a letter explaining the nature of the complaint and the amounts declared to be owed is sent to the employer. To find out more about the investigation procedure, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs web page.

Investigations Launched by the Division (“ Direct Investigations“): The Division may perform employer-wide direct investigations of potential infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you want to send a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you want to submit a private claim for unsettled earnings, you must submit a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, employment Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
