Colorado’s Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Order
Colorado’s Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Order
Business running as usual? At Moye White, we are dedicated to providing you with the information needed to operate your business in a regular economy and during times of uncertainty. So, let’s talk about your Colorado employees and Colorado’s Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards (COMPS) Order #36, effective today, March 16, 2020. These standards include break and meal-time rules that once only applied to Retail/Service, Food/Beverage, Health/Medical, and Commercial Support Services, but now covers break and meal-time rules for all private sector work. Let’s repeat that. COMPS Order #36 now covers all private sector work. This means that all non-exempt employees must be given dedicated and uninterrupted breaks of 10 minutes for every 4 hours worked. For shifts over 5 hours, non-exempt employees are required to take an uninterrupted, duty-free 30-minute meal period. For employers who have deployed their non-exempt employees to work from home while we battle COIVD-19, here are three things an employer can do to ensure compliance from your employees.
