| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
Under the Healthy Families and Workplaces Act, C.R.S. 8-13.3-401 et seq. (“HFWA”), a declaration of a “public health emergency” related to COVID-19 already has triggered the requirement to provide 80 hours of paid leave for COVID-19 needs (or proportionately fewer hours for part-time employees) that employees may use as of January 1, 2021 -- distinct from the 80-hour COVID leave in 2020 that was based on federal paid leave law in effect through the end of 2020. The specific rule changes are: an additional paragraph at the end of in Rule 2.11 (the definition of a “public health emergency” declaration that triggers emergency paid leave for 2021); and additional phrases in Rule 3.5.1(C) (the rules on how emergency paid leave for 2021 is accrued and usable, based on the 2.11 definition). |
