Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations
Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you earnings, you can send your company a written need for payment of wages by mail, email, text, or other electronic methods. A written demand may be sent out to the employer at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for overdue incomes is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be discovered on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage.
Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and examined, a letter discussing the nature of the problem and the quantities declared to be owed is sent out to the company. To find out more about the examination process, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations - Employer FAQs website.
Investigations Launched by the Division (" Direct Investigations"): The Division might conduct employer-wide direct investigations of prospective offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to submit an idea, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you want to submit a private claim for unsettled incomes, you need to submit a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct investigation citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer might submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
