FAQs
What are the most important layoff laws in Colorado?
Two critical aspects of employment law in Colorado are the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and the “at-will” employment doctrine. The WARN Act mandates 60-day notice of mass layoffs or closures, offering affected employees time to prepare for job loss. However, Colorado also follows the “at-will” employment doctrine, which allows employers to terminate employees without giving a reason, except when it’s against public policy or contractual agreements.
What are the major factors that affect Denver’s job market?
The Great Resignation has attracted individuals to Colorado, prompting increased corporate investments in the region. The state also boasts a business and innovation culture that rivals traditional hubs on the East Coast and in California. However, hiring growth rates have been slowing. Early 2023 witnessed WARN layoffs at companies like Gymshark, Wanzek Construction, WIX.com, Laramar Group LLC, and Aspen Sports, signaling shifts in the employment landscape.
