The Amended Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act - Best Practices for Small Employers
In Partnership with the Colorado Bar Association Solo/Small Firm Section
Program Description
The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act ("CADA") was recently amended to provide enhanced remedies for employees who experience discrimination. Unlike the federal anti-discrimination laws, CADA applies to employers of all sizes, including your firm. Do you know how to prevent and address complaints of discrimination within your firm?
Ms. Urban and Ms. Parady will cover the scope of CADA including the administrative exhaustion process; defenses; and damages, and will review best practices for all employers, both to prevent and address claims, including a discussion of real-life examples.
