Colorado gives your workers the course. You still need the proof.
Colorado's Know Your Rights training is free, and the state issues the completion certificate. HB25-1328 puts the documentation duty on the employer: by October 1, 2026, every direct care employer must have proof of completion on file for every covered worker. Companza keeps each certificate tied to the worker, the course, and the completion date — so you can show who completed the required training without chasing PDFs across inboxes and folders.

What HB25-1328 means for your agency
Signed May 28, 2025, Colorado HB25-1328 creates the state's first training-documentation duty for direct care employers. In brief:
The Department of Labor and Employment's Know Your Rights training covers wages, overtime, travel time, and how to file a complaint. It is free to workers and employers, and the state issues the completion certificate.
Every direct care employer must require each direct care worker to provide documentation of the completed training by October 1, 2026 — or within 90 days of the state platform going live, whichever is earlier.
Employers must distribute the state's notice of rights to every current worker and to each new hire at the time of hire, and tell workers about the state's direct care worker website and communication platform.
The Division of Labor Standards and Statistics investigates and enforces. The fine is $100 for each worker affected by each violation, doubled after a repeat violation of the same or similar type within five years. An employer that shows a good-faith effort to comply is not fined for a first violation. § 8-7.5-109(2)
Workers take the training during regular paid working hours, at no charge to the worker.
What your agency must do by October 1, 2026
Five duties, all on the employer — and the proof is the part the Division can ask for.
- Make sure every covered worker completes the state's free Know Your Rights training, or provides documentation of completion
- Collect and keep each worker's state-issued completion certificate
- Distribute the notice of rights to every current worker, and to each new hire at the time of hire
- Tell your workers about the state's direct care worker website and communication platform
- Be able to produce the proof if the Division asks
Companza is built to handle the records side of all of it.

Training? Colorado already handles it.
The state provides the course, delivers it free, and issues the certificate.
What the state does not do is keep your agency's records for you. That part is the employer's job, and it is the part Companza does.
No curriculum bundle. No per-caregiver content fees. The documentation is the deliverable.
Priced by agency, not by headcount
Most compliance platforms charge per caregiver, per month. Companza is one price for your agency — whether you run two workers or two hundred. Hiring and turnover never raise the monthly bill.
For small Colorado agencies that need a simple, defensible training record.
For growing agencies managing more certificates and worker turnover.
For larger agencies that need one consistent record across the workforce.
Setup: $299 one time — waived for the first 20 Colorado agencies.
Pricing is per agency, not per caregiver. Colorado requirements and agency responsibilities can change; Companza helps organize completion records and does not provide legal advice.
