Clarification on Recordkeeping Data in CO

Final regulations have been issued by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment that clarify employer responsibilities around paid leave, youth labor, and recordkeeping. The following information must be kept in an employee record for every worker at the principal place of business:

  • Name and address
  • Occupation and hire date
  • Birth date (if employee is under 18 years)
  • Credits claimed and tips
  • All hours worked (daily)
  • Pay rate, gross wages earned, withholdings, and net pay (per pay period)
  • Vacation pay hours earned, used, and available
  • Leave or sick hours accrued under the Healthy Families and Workplaces Act

Upon request, an employer must be able to provide documents showing the accrued, available-for-use, and used vacation pay hours. The request may occur no more than once a month by an employee.
