The library contains information on various topics in unemployment law, including relevant statutes and regulations, as well as case law from the Colorado courts. This is not an exhaustive list of every statute and court decision that involves unemployment insurance, nor is there information on every issue that can arise in this area. Rather, this website is designed to provide a general overview of the law concerning the most commonly occurring unemployment issues.
For each topic listed in the Subject Index, the relevant sections of the Colorado Employment Security Act (from the Colorado Revised Statutes) and the Regulations Concerning Employment Security (from the Code of Colorado Regulations) are listed below. The complete Colorado Employment Security Act and Regulations Concerning Employment Security can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate link provided.
To access the library page for a particular topic, click on the topic heading in the Subject Index. Each library page contains the text of the relevant statutes and regulations, as well as summaries of any significant cases decided by the Colorado courts on that issue, and links to the full text of those decisions.
Some library pages contain multiple subsections addressing specific sub-issues. These subsections are listed at the top of the main topic page, and can be accessed by scrolling down the page or clicking on the subsection heading at the top.
Please Note: If a topic listed in this library includes references to statutes outside the Colorado Employment Security Act, those statutes are available online through the following website:
Complete Colorado Revised Statutes. Select Colorado Revised Statutes, and Title 8 - Labor and Industry.
You may also look up individual court cases directly in our Table of Cases, which is an alphabetical list of every case in this library.
