Colorado Restaurant Owner Employee Notice Requirements 2026

Colorado employers — including Restaurant Owners — are required to post specific federal and state notices in a location visible to all employees. Missing a required posting can result in fines from the Department of Labor and is automatically cited during OSHA or wage-and-hour audits.

Required workplace postings and notices

Federal Minimum Wage and FLSA poster
OSHA Job Safety and Health: It's the Law poster
State-specific minimum wage notice
State workers' compensation and workplace injury notice
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) poster if you have 50+ employees

What happens if you miss this?

Regulators in Colorado do not proactively warn businesses before enforcement. Fines, stop-work orders, license suspensions, and legal liability typically arrive without advance notice. Staying current is the only reliable protection.
