Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
Colorado law defines a small employer by reference to the employer's number of eligible employees, as set out in C.R.S. § 10-16-102(18) and administered by the Colorado Division of Insurance. Revenue, longevity, and industry do not determine small-employer status; the count of eligible employees does.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Revenue plays no role in the small-employer definition under Colorado law.
- B) Years in business is irrelevant to whether an employer qualifies as a small employer.
- D) Industry classification does not determine small-employer status for group coverage purposes.
Memory hook
Small employer = counted by eligible employees, not dollars.
