Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations
Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you salaries, you can send your company a written need for job payment of earnings by mail, email, text, or other electronic ways. A written demand may be sent to the company at the very same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled earnings is submitted 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 total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and examined, a letter explaining the nature of the problem and the quantities alleged to be owed is sent to the employer. For additional information about the examination procedure, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations - Employer FAQs website.
Investigations Launched by the Division (" Direct Investigations"): The Division might perform employer-wide direct examinations of prospective infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to send a tip, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to submit a specific claim for job unpaid earnings, you must complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, an alleged employer might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
