Amendments to Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act (EPEWA), signed into law in June, are a mixed bag for covered employers. The EPEWA is the 2019 law that requires covered employers to include pay ranges in job postings for all jobs that could be performed in Colorado and to notify all employees about all promotional opportunities. The amended law, which will take effect January 1, 2024, both adds and deletes notice requirements. It eliminates the need to notify all employees about in-line promotions and says that employers that have no physical location in Colorado and fewer than 15 remote workers in Colorado have to announce job opportunities only for remote jobs. However, the amended law creates new notice provisions, including requiring an employer who selects or promotes a candidate to provide information about the selected candidate to employees with whom the candidate will work regularly.
