The Agricultural Workforce Services Program helps agricultural employees access information about their rights under labor laws and works with agricultural employers to understand their compliance obligations with labor laws.
The program conducts outreach to ag workers and employers and connects them with both state agencies and other organizations that provide support to agricultural communities.

Wages & Breaks Calculator
CDA has created an interactive spreadsheet to help business owners and employees calculate the wages they must pay and breaks they must allow under Colorado's labor laws.
To use this interactive template, make a copy of it and safe it to your computer or drive. Use your copy to calculate individual wages, OT, & breaks per timesheet. Download a pdf for each wage calculation, i.e. per timesheet.
