With a new year comes new employment laws, and Colorado is no exception. The following is a brief, non-exhaustive list of key law changes employers should be aware of for the 2024 year:
- Colorado’s FAMLI program will begin providing paid leave benefits to employees as of January 1, 2024.
- Colorado’s Ensure Equal Pay for Equal Work Act became effective on January 1, 2024, thereby amending Colorado’s previous pay transparency law (the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act) and setting forth additional notice and disclosure requirements for employers.
- COMPS Order #39 became effective January 1, 2024, and is to be used by employers to satisfy posting and notice requirements to employees.
- The PAY CALC Order has likewise been updated for 2024.
In addition to the above, Colorado’s Paid Sick Leave and POWR Act (both from 2023) remain effective and critical for employers to understand and abide by for the 2024 year.
