Giving Employment References in Colorado:

Colorado has laws that protect employers as long as what they say is true.

Colorado pre employment screening law states that: On request of a current or former employee or a prospective employer, an employer providing job history or job-performance information to a prospective employer is immune from civil liability for the disclosure. Job performance is separately defined to include suitability of the employee for reemployment; work related skills, abilities, and habits; and the reason for separation. The immunity is removed when false and when the employer knew or reasonably should have known that the information was false. (See Colo. Rev. Stat. §8-2-114.)

Colorado employment screening law restricts vendor reporting of criminal conviction information to seven years:

Colorado Reporting  Limitations (Enacted January 1, 1996)

CRS 12-14.3-105.3

No CRA may report records of arrest, indictment, or conviction of crime, which from date of disposition, release, or parole, antedate the report by more than seven years.

Colorado At Will Employment Law

While generally an at will state, Colorado has two exceptions to the at-will rule based upon the legal principles of "public policy" and "implied contract." First, the public policy exception simply means that an employee cannot be fired for performing a legal duty or exercising a legal right. Second, a binding employment relationship may be found to have been created by an implied or an express contract. The contract theory usually arises in situations in which procedures outlined in personnel handbooks are construed as a contract between the employer and employee.

Colorado Employment screening statutes: denying employment

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 24-5-101.

The intention of the statute provides: expanding employment opportunities for those who “have been rehabilitated and are ready to accept the responsibilities of a law-abiding and productive member of society.” Thus, the fact of having a conviction may not, in and of itself, bar licensing or employment.

Colorado law provides that a felony conviction or other offense involving “moral turpitude” shall not act as an automatic bar to obtaining public employment or an occupational license. The statute does not apply to certain positions, including law enforcement and jobs working with vulnerable populations.

Please note that Federal employment screening law mandates background checks for employees who are engaged in particular industries. The Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services maintains a list of individuals who are excluded from participation in any of its federally-funded healthcare programs. Exclusions are due to convictions for program-related fraud and patient abuse, licensing board actions and default on health education assistance loans. Therefore, employers in affected industries should check the OIG Exclusion list before hiring employees who might work in such programs. The FACIS program is also very important when screening medical personnel. Click Here for more information on FACIS.
