Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you salaries, you can send your employer a written demand for employment payment of salaries by mail, e-mail, text, or other electronic ways. A written demand might be sent out to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled earnings is filed with the Division. 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 gotten and evaluated, a letter explaining the nature of the complaint and the quantities declared to be owed is sent to the employer. For more info about the investigation process, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs web page.

Investigations Launched by the Division (“ Direct Investigations“): The Division might perform employer-wide direct investigations of potential offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to send a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you wish to file a specific claim for overdue salaries, you must fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, an alleged employer might submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
