Does Tilt support Colorado's paid sick and safe time law?
Here's how sick and safe time works outside of Tilt
Quick answer
Colorado's Healthy Families and Workplaces Act (HFWA) requires covered employers to provide paid sick and safe time to eligible employees, with additional requirements during public health emergencies. Tilt generally does not support time taken under this law, since it functions more like PTO than a formal leave.
Who this applies to / Prerequisites
- Employers and employees in Colorado covered by HFWA.
Key facts
- HFWA requires covered employers to provide paid sick and safe time to eligible employees.
- HFWA has additional requirements during public health emergencies.
- Programs like HFWA typically require employers to offer 5–10 sick and/or safe days, often with accrual and carryover provisions, functioning more like PTO than a formal leave.
What if it doesn't work
- I'm not sure whether my absence should go through Tilt or my company's sick time system: Most employers manage HFWA time within their existing time and attendance systems rather than through a Tilt leave process — contact your Leave Success Manager for guidance.
- If none of these apply, contact your Leave Success Manager (employees) or Customer Success Manager (HR teams).
Limits and exceptions
- Tilt does not currently support time taken under HFWA or similar paid sick and safe time laws.
- The leave laws described in the related Colorado articles are generally for private employers; public/state employers may have additional or different requirements.
