The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday that Aspen-based Clark’s Market grocery chain’s “use it or lose it” vacation-pay policy runs afoul of state wage law.
The decision had been awaited closely by Colorado’s business and labor-law community and brought clarity to how vacation policies are addressed under the Colorado Wage Claim Act, people involved with the case said.
“It’s really a big decision,” said attorney David Albrechta, whose Durango firm Albrechta & Albrechta worked with Denver attorney Hunter Swain in their representation of Carmen Nieto, who sued Clark’s Market. “It felt good to get this clarification to know and understand how the law protects employees who have earned vacation time.”
