Colorado workers who take paid family or medical leave to care for themselves or a loved one can’t be punished for doing so when benefits under the new, voter-approved Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program become available in 2024.
At the same time, Colorado employers won’t be required to ignore an employee’s performance or retain an underperforming employee when they experience such a life event.
Those are just some of the new rules made final May 25, 2023. Employers and workers will want to make note of the following guidelines:
Regulations Concerning Program Integrity (7 CCR 1107-6)
Coordination of Benefits and Reimbursement of Advanced Payments (7 CCR 1107-4)
Investigations, Determinations, and Appeals (7 CCR 1107-8)
Job Protection, Anti-retaliation, and Anti-interference (7 CCR 1107-7)
The full list of adopted FAMLI rules is also published here.
