The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and evaluated, a letter discussing the nature of the grievance and the amounts declared to be owed is sent to the company. For more details about the examination procedure, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (“ Direct Investigations“): The Division might carry out employer-wide direct examinations of potential infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit an idea, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to submit a specific claim for overdue salaries, you should fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct investigation citation or several Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
