Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you incomes, you can send your company a composed demand for payment of wages by mail, e-mail, text message, or other electronic methods. A written demand might be sent out to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for overdue wages is submitted 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 total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and reviewed, a letter discussing the nature of the grievance and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent to the employer. For more details about the examination process, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs webpage.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might conduct employer-wide direct examinations of potential infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to file a private claim for unpaid incomes, you should fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct investigation citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, a supposed company might send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
