A copy of the proposed complaint to be filed with the court may, if available, be attached to the complaint filed with the Bureau. The worker filing the complaint with the Bureau may also state whether the worker intends to pursue a private civil court action.

(3) The complaint is considered filed with the Bureau on the date that it is mailed to the Bureau or the date it is emailed to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division.
