EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK ACT (THE “ACT”), COLORADO REVISED STATUTES (“C.R.S.”)

NOBO will make reasonable efforts to announce, post or otherwise make known all opportunities for promotion to all current employees on the same calendar day and prior to making a promotion decision. A “promotional opportunity” exists when NOBO has or anticipated a vacancy in an existing or new position that could one considered a promotion for one or more employees(s) in terms of compensation, benefits, status, duties, or access to further advancement. A communication announcing, posting, or otherwise making a promotional opportunity known will be in writing and include at least (i) job title, (ii) compensation and benefits, and (iii) means by which employees may apply for the position.

NOBO will make reasonable efforts to communicate promotional opportunities with any method(s) by which all NOBO employees (i) can access within their regular workplace, either online or in hard copy, and (ii) will be told where to find required postings or announcements. If a particular method reaches some but not all employees, such as an online posting not accessible to those lacking internet access or access to or knowledge of that internet site, then an alternative method will still be used for NOBO employees.

NOBO will notify all employees of promotional opportunities and will not limit notice to those employees it deems qualified for the position, but NOBO may state that applications are open to only those with certain qualifications and may screen or reject candidates based on such qualifications.

NOBO does not need to post a promotional opportunity to all employees if NOBO has a compelling need to keep a particular opening confidential because the position is still held by an incumbent employee who, for reasons other than avoiding job posting requirements, NOBO has not yet made aware they will be separated. If any NOBO employees are told of the opportunity, all employees must be told who with (i) meet the minimum qualifications or (ii) have a job “substantially similar” (within the meaning of C.R.S. § 8-5-102 in the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act) (the “Act”) to any employees being told of the opportunity. If the need for confidentiality ends before any deadline to apply for the job, NOBO will then promptly comply with applicable posting requirements in the Act.

No promotion posting to other employees is required for a promotion within one year of an employee being hired with a written representation (whether in an offer letter, in an agreement, or in a policy NOBO published to employees) that NOBO will automatically consider an employee for promotion to a specific position within one year based solely on their own performance and/or NOBO’s needs.

No immediate promotion posting is required to fill a position on a temporary basis for up to six months where the hiring is not expected to be permanent, e.g., an acting or interim position. If the hire may become permanent, then the required portion posting must be made in time for employees to apply for the percent position.

Promotion posting requirements do not apply to NOBO employees entirely outside Colorado.

The compensation posting requirements do not apply to either (i) jobs to be performed entirely outside Colorado, or (ii) postings entirely outside Colorado.
