On June 5, 2023, Governor Polis Signed SB 23-105 into law, which will significantly change employers’ job posting and promotional notice obligations in Colorado. The law amends Colorado’s pay transparency statute, which has been in effect since 2021, to require employers to notify the colleagues of each new hire or promotion of the identity of the candidate and how to demonstrate interest in similar job opportunities in the future. Providing some reprieve for employers, under the amended law, employers will no longer have to provide notice to current employees of career progression promotions. In addition, until July 1, 2029, the amendments allow employers with physical locations exclusively outside of Colorado with fewer than 15 Colorado-based employees to provide their Colorado employees notice of remote job opportunities only, not all promotional opportunities company-wide. The law will take effect on January 1, 2024.
Critically, the amendment extends the statute of limitations for wage discrimination claims under Colorado’s equal pay statute from three years to six years and requires the Colorado Department of Labor to create a process to investigate and mediate claims of wage discrimination.
