Colorado Minimum Wage Order Poster
Required
The Minimum Wage Order Poster is a labor law posters poster by the Colorado Department Of Labor and Employment. This is a mandatory posting for all employers in Colorado, and businesses who fail to comply may be subject to fines or sanctions.
This poster must be posted in a conspicuous place where all employees will see it. The poster lists the minimum wage for regular workers as well as the minimum wage for those to receive tips and who to contact should wages that are given are less than the minimum wage. All employees who are qualified for both the state and federal minimum wage are eligible to be paid this minimum wage rate. This ordinance also details information on rest periods, meal periods, uniforms, recovery wages, and dual jurisdictions.
CO All-In-One Labor Poster: Instead of printing out dozens of posters, employers can also purchase an all-in-one poster that covers both Colorado and Federal poster requirements by clicking here
