Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act contains certain provisions in regard to compensation in terms of minimum wage, overtime, child labor and recordkeeping requirements. Corresponding state provisions will be found under those topic areas. States are free to adopt additional provisions that are not regulated by the federal government such as frequency of payday and wage deductions. These provisions are discussed in this section.
Colorado law has the following provisions:
Frequency of payday
Pay periods must be no longer than one calendar month or 30 days, whichever is longer, and on regular paydays no later than 10 days following the close of the pay period unless the employer and employee mutually agree to an alternative arrangement. At least monthly, or at the time wages are paid, employers must furnish each employee with an itemized pay statement. §8-4-103
Employers may pay wages at earlier dates, at more frequent intervals, in greater amounts, or in full when or before due. §8-4-106
Wage deductions
No payroll deductions may be made unless required by law, provided for in a written agreement with the employee, as recovery of a shortage due to theft by the employee if the employee is found guilty in court, or as a deduction for payment of money or for the value of property owed to the employer by a terminated employee. §8-4-105
Deduction for union dues
Deductions are allowed for union dues where agreed to by the employee and employer. §8-9-106
Allowable deductions
Deductions may be authorized by an employee for hospital or medical costs, stock purchases, savings, insurance, charities, payments to financial institutions or other similar purposes, or for rent, board, and subsistence provided in connection with employment. §8-9-107
