7 CCR 1103-1-3 - Minimum Wages
3.1 Statewide
Minimum Wage. Under the minimum wage requirements of Article XVIII, Section 15,
of the Colorado Constitution, all employees (with the exception detailed in
Rule 3.3), whether employed on an hourly, piecework, commission, time, task, or
other basis, shall be paid not less than the Colorado minimum wage, as
specified for the applicable year in the PAY CALC Order, less any applicable
lawful credits or exceptions noted, for all hours worked, if the employee is
covered by either:
(A) Rule
2 (Coverage and Exemptions) of the COMPS Order; or
(B) the minimum wage provisions of the
federal Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§
201 et seq.).
3.2 Minimum and Overtime Wage Requirements of
Other Applicable Jurisdictions. In addition to state wage requirements, federal
or local laws or regulations may apply minimum, overtime, or other wage
requirements to some or all Colorado employers and employees. If an employee is
covered by multiple minimum or overtime wage requirements, the requirement
providing a higher wage, or otherwise setting a higher standard, shall apply.
The Division accepts state law complaints by employees who claim entitlement to
a state, federal, or local minimum or overtime wages under the C.R.S. §
8-4-101(14)
definition that the "unpaid wages" recoverable in a state-law claim include
"[a]ll amounts for labor or service performed by employees," as long as such
amounts are "earned, vested, and determinable, at which time such amount shall
be payable to the employee pursuant to this article."
3.3 Reduced Minimum for Minors. The minimum
wage may be reduced by 15% for non-emancipated minors, as specified for the
applicable year in the PAY CALC Order.
