Businesses holding property that has gone unclaimed — uncashed payroll or vendor checks, customer credits and refunds, unused gift cards, deposits — must report and turn it over to the state each year, after sending the owner a due diligence notice before the deadline. The annual report and payment are due November 1 for general property. Which state's law applies depends on the owner's last known address, or the business's state of incorporation when there is none, so a business can owe reports to several states.
If personal information of residents of the state is acquired without authorization, notify affected residents within 30 days of discovering the breach and the Attorney General if 500 or more residents are affected (Colo. Rev. Stat. 6-1-716). This is an event-driven duty, so it has no calendar date. Sources in the PR describe the state's rule in different words; check the statute for the exact trigger and content of the notice.
Quarterly wage report and contribution payment. Colorado taxes the first $30,600 of each employee's wages (2026); new employers pay 1.53%, and experience-rated rates range from 0.56% to 7.34%.

Employers with more than 10 employees keep Forms 300 and 301 for work-related injuries and illnesses, and post the Form 300A summary for the previous year at each establishment from February 1 through April 30. Records are kept five years. Report a work-related fatality within 8 hours and an inpatient hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye within 24 hours.

ExceptionsEmployers with 10 or fewer employees (except for fatality and severe-injury reporting); Establishments in partially exempt low-hazard industries such as retail, finance, insurance, real estate and many services (29 CFR 1904 Appendix A)
Applicable large employers (50 or more full-time employees, counting part-time hours as full-time equivalents) give each full-time employee a Form 1095-C. The January 31 deadline is extended automatically by 30 days, to March 2 in most years (March 1 for the 2026 forms).
Why it applies50 full-time employees, at or above the 50 that make an applicable large employer
The transmittal Form 1094-C and each Form 1095-C are due to the IRS at the end of February on paper or March 31 electronically; employers filing 10 or more information returns in total must file electronically. Penalties apply per late or incorrect form.

Private employers with 100 or more employees file annually through the EEOC's online system; federal contractors with 50 or more employees and certain contracts have also filed. The EEOC sets each year's window (the 2024 report was due June 24, 2025, with no extensions), so check its data collections page.
Why it applies100 employees, at or above the 100 that require an EEO-1 report
Establishments with 250 or more employees submit their Form 300A summary through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application by March 2. Establishments with 20 to 249 employees in designated higher-hazard industries must also submit the summary, and those with 100 or more in the most hazardous industries submit Forms 300 and 301 data.
Why it applies500 employees, at or above the 250 that require electronic submission
