The Equal Pay for Equal Work Act went into effect on January 1st, 2021. In summary, the law requires Colorado businesses to provide equal pay–including benefits—to all employees performing substantially similar work. Specifically, the law required enhancements to job descriptions, job postings, and promotion opportunities. 

The County is required to make payroll deductions for employee dues and other payments that the County employees voluntarily authorize to be made to the Exclusive Representative and related entities.
