Minimum wage coverage, overtime pay and mandatory breaks will be extended to a broader array of workers in the state under a proposal released Monday from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. After holding public hearings earlier this year, the department’s Division of Labor Standards and Statistics has drafted a major revamp of the Colorado Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Order. “Hundreds of thousands of workers who would not have been able to qualify for workplace protections such as overtime pay or even being paid the state minimum wage will now be eligible,” Kathy White, deputy executive director for the Colorado Fiscal Institute, said in a statement on the proposed order. The state’s current minimum wage order covers workers in four broad categories: retail and service; food and beverage; commercial support service; health and medical. But that division created gray areas and resulted in needless litigation over wage claims, labor advocates argued.
