What state notices or postings are businesses required to display?

Colorado State Notices and Postings for Businesses

In Colorado, businesses must display specific state-required notices and postings to comply with labor and employment regulations. These postings inform employees of their rights and employer obligations.

Mandatory State Postings

• Colorado Minimum Wage Order: This notice outlines the current state minimum wage and any applicable overtime rules. It must be displayed where employees can easily see it.
• Colorado Anti-Discrimination Notice: Employers must post information about employee rights under Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws, including protections based on race, gender, disability, and other categories.
• Unemployment Insurance Notice: This notice explains employee rights related to unemployment benefits and how to file claims.
• Workers' Compensation Notice: Businesses must display information about workers’ compensation coverage and employee procedures for reporting injuries.
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Notice: If applicable, employers must post FMLA rights and responsibilities, including state-specific family and medical leave provisions.

Additional Operational Considerations

• Federal Posters: Colorado businesses must also display required federal labor law posters (e.g., OSHA, Fair Labor Standards Act). Combining state and federal posters in a single location helps ensure compliance.
• Posting Location: Notices should be placed in a conspicuous area accessible to all employees, such as break rooms or near time clocks.
• Updates and Compliance: As of 2026, regularly check for updates to posting requirements. Automating compliance tracking or using third-party services can help maintain current postings and avoid penalties.
• Recordkeeping: Keep documentation of posting dates and versions to support compliance audits or inspections.
