Protecting Your Rights at All Cost (720) 941 7200
Colorado employment law prohibits employers from discriminating against employees due to race, gender, national origin, religion and other statutory reasons. Our Denver employment lawyers can assist both employers and employers with discrimination claims and EEOC investigations.
Racial Discrimination: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects individuals against employment discrimination on the bases of race and color, as well as national origin, sex, and religion. Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies and to labor organizations, as well as to the federal government. An experienced lawyer in our firm can further assist you with this topic.
Title VII prohibits offensive conduct, such as racial or ethnic slurs, racial "jokes," derogatory comments, or other verbal or physical conduct based on an individual's race/color. Our lawyers will advise you that the conduct has to be unwelcome and offensive, and has to be severe or pervasive. Colorado Employers are required to take appropriate steps to prevent and correct unlawful harassment. Likewise, Denver Colorado employees are responsible for reporting harassment at an early stage to prevent its escalation
Age Discrimination. Under Employment Law,The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. The ADEA's protections apply to both employees and job applicants. Under the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his/her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training. If you are invloved in a Colorado employment law claim or dispute concerning age, contact our lawyers immediately.
Colorado "At Will" Employment Law
Colorado is considered an "at will" employment state. This means that if a Denver employee is hired for an indefinite period of time, and there is no agreement limiting the employer's right to discharge, then either the employee or employer can terminate the employment relationship at any time without notice or cause. If you are concerned about a legal issue in this area, contact an employment law attorney at Watson & Associates for immediate help.
Employment Contracts: It is important to understand the use of employment competition agreements in Colorado. It is also important to note that non-competition agreements with employees and other people from whom a business recieves services are void.
The exception to the non-compete rule is that a business can have a non-compete agreement with another business. Colorado employers may have noncompetition agreements with Colorado employees in Denver who are "executive or managment personnel. Non-compete agreements can also be enforceable as part of a sale of a business.
