In CO, an employer is not required to provide its workers with vacation benefits. However, if a company chooses to provide such benefits, it must comply with the terms of its established policy, employment contract or union agreement. In other words, an employer may lawfully establish a policy enter into a contract that denies payment for accrued vacation leave upon separation.
