PSHRA Colorado (Formerly known as IPMA-HR Co)
The Year of You: Refuel, Renew, Re-Engage: Annual Employment Law Update: POWR to the People!
Colorado enacted significant legislation in 2023 and employers must be prepared. This session will address the new Protecting Opportunities and Workers' Rights (POWR) Act, which enacts far-reaching changes to Colorado law, including a lower threshold for harassment claims and increased responsibilities for employers. Also, Colorado further limited confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements; added robust recordkeeping requirements; restricted asking for most age-related information in hiring; redefined the posting requirements under its broad Equal Pay for Equal Work Act; and expanded the rights of public sector workers. At the same time, federal agencies have crafted new rules subjecting employers to even more scrutiny and potential violations of law. And we can never forget a very active U.S. Supreme Court that has expanded religious protections and brought tremendous scrutiny of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. This is a must-attend session for human resources and legal professionals.
