Colorado § 24-50-125.3

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 24: Government
• Art.: State Personnel System -

Text

An applicant or employee who alleges
discriminatory or unfair employment practices, as defined in part 4 of article 34 of
this title, in the state personnel system may appeal within ten days of the alleged
practice by filing a complaint in writing with the board or the Colorado civil rights
division in the department of regulatory agencies, which shall investigate such
complaint on behalf of the board pursuant to the procedures and time limits set
forth in section 24-34-306. In an appeal involving the civil rights division, the state
personnel board shall contract with a third party to investigate the complaint. If,
after said civil rights division or third party has found no probable cause or has
attempted after a finding of probable cause to resolve the complaint by
conference, conciliation, and persuasion, the applicant or employee remains
dissatisfied, such person shall have ten days from the date he is notified of the civil
rights division's or third party's action in which to appeal to the board. The board
may set the complaint for hearing or adopt the findings of the civil rights division or
third party as its own. If the complaint is set for hearing, it shall be subject to the
same time limits as other appeals heard by the board. If the board adopts a no
probable cause finding as its own, such action shall not operate to deny an
employee a hearing to which he is otherwise entitled by law or rule.
