• Discharge, discipline, discriminate against, coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any employee or other person who has inquired about, disclosed, compared, or otherwise discussed the employee's wages.
• Require nondisclosure by an employee as a condition of employment.
• Require an employee to sign a waiver or document that denies the employee the right to disclose wage information (CO Rev. Stat. Sec. 24-34-402).
The provision applies to all employers, regardless of size.
