On June 1, 2016, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper signed the Colorado Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.  This new provision provides clear standards that employers should follow when employing pregnant workers, as well as a new notice requirement.
 
Effective August 10, 2016, Colorado employers of all sizes will commit an unfair employment practice if they fail to provide reasonable accommodations for an employee, or an applicant for employment, for health conditions related to pregnancy or physical recovery from childbirth, absent an undue hardship.
