| Statutory Authority |
Administrative Procedure Act, C.R.S. § 24-4-103, and the provisions of C.R.S. Title 8, Articles 1, 4, 6, 13.3, including C.R.S. §§ 8-1-101, 103, 107, 108, 111, 130; § 8-4-111; §§ 8-6-102, 104-106, 108-109, 111, 116-117; §§ 8-13.3-401, 403-405, 407-411, 416. |
| Description of Subjects/Issues |
These rules make permanent the latest version of the Wage Protection Rules, which is the set of the temporary or emergency rules adopted on December 23, 2020, and effective January 1, 2021. Those temporary or emergency rules modified the existing permanent Wage Protection Rules adopted on November 10, 2020, and effective January 1, 2021. The temporary or emergency rules clarified ambiguity in existing statutory and rule text as to whether paid leave for needs related to COVID-19, which has been required under the Healthy Families and Workplaces Act (“HFWA”), C.R.S. § 8-13.3-401 et seq., since July 14, 2020, would terminate after December 31, 2020. In the temporary or emergency rules, Rules 2.11 and 3.5.1(C) were amended to clarify that a public health emergency that triggers COVID-related paid leave in 2021 may be an emergency declared at any time on or after the HFWA statutory effective date of July 14, 2020, and that a qualifying emergency already has triggered 80-hour COVID-related paid leave as of January 1, 2021. These rules make those amendments permanent. |
