Written Demands, Complaints, employment & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you salaries, you can send your company a composed demand for payment of incomes by mail, email, 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 overdue incomes 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 describing the nature of the complaint and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent out to the employer. 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 might conduct employer-wide direct investigations of prospective violations of Colorado wage and hour law. If you want to submit a pointer, please email the Division at cdle_di_tips@state.co.us. If you would like to file an individual claim for overdue wages, you need to fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, employment and Settlements webpage. To appeal a direct investigation citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, an alleged company may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
