This Law Firm Publication by Fisher & Phillips LLP discusses amendments to the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA). Unlike federal law, the CADA prohibits employers from engaging in employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, including transgender status. The CADA applies to all Colorado employers, regardless of size. The amendments take effect on January 1, 2015. They significantly expand the statue’s remedies and make it easier for employees to file discrimination claims in state court rather than federal court.
