Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you incomes, you can send your employer a written demand for payment of incomes by mail, e-mail, text message, or other electronic means. A written demand may be sent to the employer at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid incomes is submitted with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements website.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and evaluated, a letter describing the nature of the complaint and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent to the company. For additional information about the investigation procedure, please evaluate the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs website.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division might conduct employer-wide direct examinations of prospective offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to send a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you want to file an individual claim for unsettled earnings, you must fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and employment Settlements website. To appeal a direct examination citation or several Notices of Assessment, an alleged employer may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
