Neither Denver nor Colorado has enacted a predictive-scheduling or fair-workweek law. Denver employers can change shifts on short notice, though they must still pay reporting time and follow general wage and recordkeeping rules.
Denver has no fair-workweek or predictive-scheduling ordinance like Seattle, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. Colorado state law also lacks a citywide predictability statute, although the Colorado Wage Act (C.R.S. §8-4) requires accurate paystubs and timely payment of all earned wages. Denver employers may schedule, change, or cancel shifts with little advance notice, subject only to written agreements, collective-bargaining contracts, or any voluntary policy. Workers reporting to a scheduled shift that is canceled may be entitled to limited reporting-time pay only if a written policy or contract requires it. Tenants of Denver's broader employee-rights framework should monitor City Council, which has periodically discussed scheduling proposals.
Because no scheduling ordinance exists, enforcement focuses on related wage violations (off-the-clock work, missed paystub data) under Colorado Wage Act, with civil penalties and back pay.
