Re: vacation pay
Failure to pay your vacation pay is a violation of Colorado's Wage Claim Act. You must demand your pay in writing within 60 days. If the employer still doesn't pay you, you may sue them in small claims court. Keep a record of your written demand so you can prove to the court that you sent it. Consider sending it certified, return receipt requested.
