- Employment Discrimination
Colorado law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation (CO's legal definition of sexual orientation for this law includes gender identity), age, disability, marriage to a co-worker, and prohibits retaliation for engaging in a civil rights-protected activity.
Federal law prohibits an employer to discriminate based on race, religion, gender (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), and disability or genetic information.
