Championing Employee Rights in Colorado with Barrett & Farahany
Work is an integral part of life. It’s where we strive, grow, and contribute. Yet, when employment rights are violated, it can lead to lasting emotional, financial, and professional turmoil. At Barrett & Farahany, we understand the challenges employees face and are committed to protecting the rights of workers across Colorado.
With over 20 years of experience in employment law, we stand as allies for employees, ensuring fair treatment and justice under Colorado employment laws.
What to Know About Colorado Employment Laws
Colorado employment laws are designed to ensure workplace fairness, protect employees from discrimination, and maintain equitable practices. Key provisions tackle critical areas such as wage laws, workplace harassment, and employee benefits.
For instance, Colorado workers are entitled to:
Minimum Wage Protections:
Employers must adhere to Colorado’s minimum wage rate, updated annually.
Anti-Discrimination Regulations:
Laws prohibit discrimination based on race, sex, religion, disability, age, and other protected classes.
Health and Family Benefits:
Employees are protected under acts like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), securing job-protected leave for eligible employees.
These laws are the backbone of a safe and lawful work environment, but violations are not uncommon. That’s where our attorneys step in, using these laws to defend and assert your rights.
Facing Workplace Discrimination or Harassment in Colorado
Workplace discrimination or harassment can leave employees feeling powerless. However, you are not alone—there are steps you can take to uphold your rights and hold offenders accountable.
- Document Everything: Keep detailed notes about the incidents, including dates, locations, and witnesses.
- Report the Issue Internally: Speak to your HR department or use your company’s formal channels to report the issue.
- Consult Legal Representation: If the matter persists or retaliation occurs, it’s time to consult a Colorado employment attorney.
At Barrett & Farahany, we’ve successfully resolved numerous cases, ensuring justice for employees facing workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, or hostile work environments.
