Written Demands, Complaints, & Investigations

Demands & Complaints for Wages: If a company owes you earnings, you can send your company a written need for payment of wages by mail, email, text message, or other electronic ways. A written need might be sent out to the company at the exact same time a Labor Standards Complaint Form for unpaid wages is submitted with the Division. The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be discovered on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements webpage.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is received and examined, a letter discussing the nature of the problem and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent out to the company. To find out 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 carry out employer-wide direct examinations of potential infractions of Colorado wage and hour law. If you would like to send a suggestion, please email the Division at [email protected]. If you want to file a private claim for unsettled earnings, you should fill out a Labor Standards Complaint Form on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, and Settlements web page. To appeal a direct examination citation or one or more Notices of Assessment, a supposed employer may submit a Direct Investigation Appeal Form.
