Companies are currently excluding coloradans from consideration for remote work positions perhaps it's to avoid compliance with a state law aimed at increasing transparency around pay inequities. The Colorado Pay Equity Act requires that women and minorities be considered for all jobs, regardless of location, and prohibits employers from asking about a job candidate’s salary history. It also requires employers to report this information publicly.
The law took effect at the start of this year. But it hasn’t stopped companies from excluding Coloradans from consideration for remote work positions.
A Denver Post investigation found that tech companies have been excluding residents of the state from consideration for remote work positions.
