Today brings a new year and several new laws in Colorado. The laws range from equal pay to employee sick pay to tenant rights.
Employers face new requirements when it comes to posting a job opening and promotions that are available within the company. The new law is aimed at preventing wage discrimination between employees for performing the same duties. Employers must post a salary range with the job opening so applicants can know right away how much they would earn.
Another new law requires employers to offer 48-hours of paid sick leave for employees. Employees can begin accruing paid sick leave as soon as their employment begins.
Also beginning today, landlords cannot ask a tenant about their citizenship status. The new law prohibits landlords from including the question on a housing application.
Starting tomorrow, retail marijuana stores are able to begin delivery if it has been approved by the local jurisdiction.
