Duties
The Strategic Enforcement Unit of the Division of Labor Standards and Statistic is hiring three Senior Compliance Investigator II ("CI II") positions. The Strategic Enforcement Policy and Investigations ("Strategic Enforcement") Unit conducts Division-initiated investigations of employers for systemic labor law violations, rather than the investigation of individual complaints. These investigations are analogous to class action lawsuits and involve large groups of workers or job applicants and a broad range of potential violations for one employer. As such, these investigations entail the collection of a large amount of evidence, including voluminous document production, interviews with a multitude of witnesses, and Division-directed "discovery" to obtain relevant evidence. They also involve complex evidentiary, strategic, and legal issues and require synthesizing multiple laws and thousands of pages of documentary evidence into detailed citations.
The Division is hiring for three strategic enforcement positions within this program:
An investigator on the Job Equity team conducting Division-initiated investigations of violations of Part 1 of Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act ("EPEWA"), which prohibits gender-based pay disparities, preventing employees from talking about wage rates, and retaliation for asserting rights under EPEWA. This position will lead the investigation strategy, including deciding which leads and complaints to pursue; gather evidence from employers, employees, witnesses, and other sources; and analyze complex and novel legal issues regarding pay equity. Because this program is new to the Division, the investigator will work with the team to recommend and implement investigative processes and set priorities for the program.
An investigator on the Job Equity team conducting investigations of violations of Part 2 of the EPEWA, which concerns notifying employees of available job opportunities and disclosing compensation and other information in job postings. This is a high-volume program and requires flexibility, the ability to analyze a large volume of claims and data, and stellar time management skills. Additionally, this position requires understanding and applying due process principles, dissecting complex fact patterns, and analyzing novel legal issues.
