Earlier this year, Governor Polis passed a law requiring Colorado employers to provide exiting employees with a separation notice at their time of separation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

The written notice requirements include the following:

• Employer Name and Address
• Employee Name and Address
• Employee’s Start Date and Last Day Worked
• Employee’s Year-to-date earnings
• Employee's Wages for Last Week Worked
• The Reason for the Employee Separation

Vida HR provided our clients with a compliant template until the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment issued their own version of a compliant form.

Colorado has now issued their own version of the required Separation Notice, which can be found here:
