Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024

3.1 Statewide Minimum Wage. Under the minimum wage requirements of Article XVIII, Section 15, of the Colorado Constitution, all employees (with the exception detailed in Rule 3.3), whether employed on an hourly, piecework, commission, time, task, or other basis, shall be paid not less than the Colorado minimum wage, as specified for the applicable year in the PAY CALC Order, less any applicable lawful credits or exceptions noted, for all hours worked, if the employee is covered by either:

(A) Rule 2 (Coverage and Exemptions) of the COMPS Order; or

(B) the minimum wage provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq.).

3.2 Minimum and Overtime Wage Requirements of Other Applicable Jurisdictions. In addition to state wage requirements, federal or local laws or regulations may apply minimum, overtime, or other wage requirements to some or all Colorado employers and employees. If an employee is covered by multiple minimum or overtime wage requirements, the requirement providing a higher wage, or otherwise setting a higher standard, shall apply. The Division accepts state law complaints by employees who claim entitlement to a state, federal, or local minimum or overtime wages under the C.R.S. § 8-4-101(14) definition that the "unpaid wages" recoverable in a state-law claim include "[a]ll amounts for labor or service performed by employees," as long as such amounts are "earned, vested, and determinable, at which time such amount shall be payable to the employee pursuant to this article."

3.3 Reduced Minimum for Minors. The minimum wage may be reduced by 15% for non-emancipated minors, as specified for the applicable year in the PAY CALC Order.
