Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If an employer owes you salaries, you can send your company a written demand for payment of earnings by mail, e-mail, text message, or other electronic means. A written demand might be sent out to the employer at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unsettled wages is filed with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page.

Responses in Investigations: Once a complete Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and evaluated, a letter discussing the nature of the complaint and the quantities declared to be owed is sent out to the company. To learn more about the investigation procedure, please examine 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 possible offenses of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to submit an idea, please email the Division at cd**********@st***.us. If you would like to submit an individual claim for unpaid earnings, you need to 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, a supposed company may send a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
