Why C is correct
C.R.S. § 10-16-104(3) permits employers with fewer than 15 full-time-equivalent positions to be exempt from Colorado's maternity coverage mandate. Larger employers must provide maternity benefits, including coverage of normal pregnancy and childbirth and contraception on the same basis as any other sickness.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 10 is not the statutory threshold; the exemption applies to employers with fewer than 15 full-time-equivalent positions.
- B) 25 overstates the threshold; the exemption is for fewer than 15 full-time-equivalent positions.
- D) 50 is far above the Colorado exemption threshold of 15 full-time-equivalent positions.
Memory hook
Under 15 FTE, the maternity mandate may skip.
