Reminder, Colorado employers, new ban-the-box law will take effect soon

Colorado employers are reminded that Colorado’s new ban-the-box law will take effect September 1, 2019 for employers with more than 10 employees (then September 1, 20121 for all other employers). Together with the crop of other new Colorado employment laws this year, Colorado employers should:

• Review and revise their handbooks, workplace policies, and hiring documents accordingly.
• Review and revise their hiring and promotion practices.
• Consider undertaking an audit of pay levels as encouraged now by HB19-085.
• Review wage compliance practices.
• Train supervisor, manager and HR accordingly.
