Wage Theft: Colorado Division Of Labor Made An Official Determination In My Favor. Employer Still Hasn’t Paid.

Card image cap

This was an unpaid wages claim. The division determination states that I am owed the amount of my unpaid wages, plus a penalty for “willful violation” of labor law. Employer was given 60 days to pay the penalties directly to me but they have not paid.

After 60 days the penalty increases by several thousand dollars with an additional $50/day in fines, per the determination. Do I need an attorney at this point? Or does the division of labor seek payment for me?

The exact language of the notice:

“To remedy failures to pay as ordered, the Division may freeze and seize assets any liable party owns or is owed, through Division orders and notices to the party, to other persons or entities with the party’s assets (e.g., banks), and to anyone who owes the party money or other assets (e.g., customers, suppliers, business partners).

Non-compliance may also yield additional fines on the party, and additional information demands to the party or others (e.g., individuals or businesses with knowledge of the party’s assets). Enforcement efforts may ensue during any appeals, absent an order limiting such efforts.”
