2022 Colorado Code
Title 24 - Government - State
Article 50.5 - State Employee Protection
Editor's note: In Ward v. Industrial Comm'n, 699 P.2d 960 (Colo. 1985), the supreme court set forth how the burden of proof is to be allocated in the examination of possible violations of this statute. In determining whether reduction of terminated state employees' unemployment benefits would violate the protection granted by the statute, the claimant must establish that his or her disclosures fell within the protection of the statute and that they were a substantial or motivating factor in the employer's opposition to his receipt of benefits, and, if the claimant makes such initial showing, then the employer must establish by the preponderance of the evidence that it would have reached the same decision even in the absence of the protected conduct.
