Colorado Employment Law Update – Five Game Changing Legal Developments Every Colorado Employer Should Understand

2020 has been a landmark year for employment law developments in Colorado.  Even before the pandemic, Colorado was experiencing volatile changes to employment laws, with Democrats holding the State House, Senate and Governor’s seat for the first time in recent memory. The result is a tough new legal environment for Colorado employers – one that is on par with some of the most aggressively employee-friendly states in the country. In this session, our experienced attorneys will discuss the historic Supreme Court decision extending Title VII protection to LBGTQ+ statuses, the legal battles over a new federal Department of Labor “joint employer” standard, and the significant new state laws including the Colorado Equal Work for Equal Pay Act, the new Compensation Overtime & Minimum Pay Standards (“COMPS”) and new paid sick leave obligations under the Colorado Safe Families & Workplaces Act.
