Follow-up on new COMPS Order information from CDLE – 2 of 4

As previously discussed on this blog, the Colorado Division of Labor and Employment recently finalized its new wage order, titled COMPS Order 36. COMPS Order 36 has proven to be an overhaul of existing Colorado law, reaching many employers previously exempt from prior wage orders. The COMPS order has left many unanswered questions. In response this blog noted that the CDLE has just issued some additional information. As explained in that post, employers should review the CDLE’s summary that it emailed out regarding its new information, which email is copy-pasted into that blog post.

One item included in that email was a link to the CDLE’s own summary of COMPS Order 36. At “only” four pages, this summary is an easy to read introduction to this new law, which all employers should take time to review before the COMPS Order’s effective date of March 16, 2020. As employers do, they should also skim the CDLE’s poster, which is its own summary.
