Colorado Equal Employment Opportunity and Nondiscrimination laws ensure fair treatment in the workplace and prohibit discrimination based on various protected characteristics. These laws cover both the private and public sectors, aiming to provide equal employment opportunities for all individuals in Colorado. Here are some relevant keywords and different types of Colorado Equal Employment Opportunity and Nondiscrimination laws: 1. Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA): CADA is the primary piece of legislation that prohibits discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations in Colorado. 2. Protected characteristics: Colorado's Equal Employment Opportunity laws safeguard against discrimination based on various protected characteristics, including race, color, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation (including transgender status), gender identity, age (40 and over), disability, marital status, familial status (including pregnancy), genetic information, and retaliation. 3. Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC): The Colorado Civil Rights Division enforces CADA and investigates complaints of discrimination filed by employees or job applicants. 4. Reasonable accommodation: Colorado employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, including modifying job tasks or providing assistive devices, as long as it does not cause undue hardship to the employer. 5. Harassment: Colorado prohibits workplace harassment based on any protected characteristic. This includes both quid pro quo harassment (where a condition of employment is based on submitting to unwelcome advances) and hostile work environment harassment (where an individual is subjected to persistent offensive behavior that creates an intimidating or hostile work environment). 6. Equal Pay for Equal Work Act (OPERA): This recent law requires employers to provide equal pay to employees who perform substantially similar work. It prohibits pay disparities based on sex (including gender identity), race, national origin, or ethnicity. 7.

Employers in Colorado should familiarize themselves with these laws to ensure compliance and create a fair and inclusive work environment. By upholding these principles of equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination, businesses can foster diverse and inclusive workplaces that promote equal access to opportunities for all employees and job applicants.
