HIGHLIGHTS

A recent Colorado Court of Appeals Opinion, Verheggen v. Adams County Department of Human Services, 2026 COA 62, held that an employee need not allege that a pay dispute involved sex or gender discrimination to state a valid discrimination claim under Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act (EPEWA) and the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA). The Court of Appeals also affirmed dismissal of the EPEWA claims against two individually named supervisors, reasoning that individual liability under the EPEWA still depends on well-pleaded facts.
