Contractor work arrangements are popular. According to the US Government Accountability Office, about one-third of all businesses and almost 90% of Fortune 500 companies use independent contractors in some capacity. Hiring contractors can be a particularly attractive option for early-stage businesses because it allows them to leverage specialized skill sets while building their internal teams.
But contractors are very different from employees, and the two mustn’t be conflated—or hefty penalties can apply. While contractors are self-employed individuals or even incorporated business entities, employees are typically economically dependent on their employers and so are entitled to certain rights and protections under the law. For this reason, misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor is a compliance violation: It denies a worker rights to which they are otherwise entitled.
The Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act (EPEWA) is one of the nation’s most comprehensive pay transparency laws. It aims to address wage gaps and ensure fair compensation across all sectors. This law, effective in 2021 and expanded in 2024, continues to promote pay equity and transparency in the workplace.
Colorado businesses must comply with these updated regulations to avoid penalties and foster a culture of fairness. This guide explains how the law works, what employers need to know, and how Mosey can assist with state compliance.

From payroll taxes to employment laws and even local registration requirements, the rules you need to follow can change drastically depending on where your employees are located.
