C.R.S. § 24-50.5-105

Any employee not in the state personnel system, or any employee in the state personnel system who filed a complaint under section 24-50.5-104 (1) but the state personnel board determined after review or hearing that no violation of section 24-50.5-103 occurred, may bring a civil action in the district court alleging a violation of section 24-50.5-103 . If the employee prevails, the employee may recover damages, together with court costs, and the court may order such other relief as it deems appropriate.
