Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations
Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you incomes, you can send your employer a composed demand for payment of salaries by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic methods. A written need might be sent to the employer at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid wages 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 total Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and evaluated, a letter discussing the nature of the grievance and the amounts declared to be owed is sent out to the employer. For more details about the investigation procedure, please examine the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations - Employer FAQs web page.
Investigations Launched by the Division (" Direct Investigations"): The Division may perform employer-wide direct examinations of prospective infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to send a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to file a specific claim for unsettled incomes, you should complete a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, an alleged employer might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
