Individual Liability (People Who Control the Business) Responsible For Your Complaint

The Colorado Youth Employment Opportunity Act allows persons to file complaints against businesses as well as against people with enough control over the businesses. Under the law, this would include any agent, manager, superintendent or foreperson of any firm or corporation who violates or fails to comply with the law. C.R.S. § 8-12-116. If you believe a person has enough control, the Division can add them to the investigation and determine whether the business and the person are both responsible for your complaint.
