Colorado's new laws are a reminder that the employment landscape is evolving. Are you ready to comply?
Laws aimed at leveling the playing field for workers—because of their gender or past criminal history—are popping up across the country as leaders attempt to erase longtime barriers that have held people back in the workplace.
But no other state has seen more change—or more rapid change—than Colorado. There, in just the last nine months, lawmakers have approved a series of rules and regulations to protect job candidates and employees. At the state level, it’s one of the largest shifts in employment law in U.S. history. Politics in Colorado are shifting from a mixed-party state to now being led by Democrats. That’s one reason for the new laws, which seek to close the wage gap between men and women and make it easier for those with criminal records to get a job.
Since January, Colorado Democrats have controlled the state’s House of Representatives, Senate and Office of the Governor. And they’ve acted swiftly, passing laws that are reshaping the way organizations hire and pay employees in the state. “It’s about time that we elevate the concerns of workers and update our labor laws to better meet today’s world. Addressing the gender gap and removing barriers for those who have paid their debt to society so that they can successfully re-enter the workforce are basic values of most Americans, but haven’t been reflected in most states’ labor laws.”But the laws also reflect a mind shift across the country and around the world, as lawmakers address long-simmering workplace issues.
