The Labor Standards Complaint Form can be found on our Demands, Complaints, Responses, employment and Settlements web page.

Employer Responses in Investigations: Once a total Labor Standards Complaint Form is gotten and examined, a letter discussing the nature of the complaint and the amounts alleged to be owed is sent to the company.
