Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you salaries, you can send your company a written need for payment of wages by mail, job email, text message, or other electronic means. A written need may be sent to the employer at the same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid wages is filed 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 gotten and evaluated, a letter describing the nature of the grievance and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent out to the company. For more details about the investigation process, please review the Wage & Hour Claim Investigations – Employer FAQs web page.

Investigations Launched by the Division (” Direct Investigations”): The Division may conduct employer-wide direct investigations of potential violations of Colorado wage and hour law. If you wish to submit a suggestion, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to submit a specific claim for overdue salaries, you need to 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 may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
