How do I write a complaint letter to the Department of labor?

When employees face problems with their employers then they can approach their regional labour department office to solve their problem. Employees can complain about any unethical behaviour of employer or nonpayment of salary or any job-related issues to the labour commissioner.

What are the Details We Need to Mention on Complaint Letter

  • Address of the labour department office. (You can find the address of your labour dept office in Google)
  • Name of the employee and name of the company in which the employee is working.
  • Working period of the employee in that company.
  • Reason for writing the complaint letter.
