Event Staffing in Colorado
Denver's local minimum wage is the highest in the state and one of the highest in the country — which means staffing math here is unforgiving. Add altitude, conference season, and a wedding industry that never sleeps. We staff 10 Colorado cities under the same contract whether the call time is 5am at the Convention Center or sunset at Red Rocks.

Colorado Compliance, Without the Theater
Compliance is boring. So is a lawsuit. Every agency on TempGuru carries workers' comp, runs W-2 payroll, and meets Colorado's wage floor of $15.16 (2026 statewide per COMPS Order #40; Denver higher) without creative interpretation.
The gig-app shortcut works until the audit. Then it doesn't. Adults build systems.
- W-2 onboarding, every worker, every event
- Colorado state & federal tax compliance
- Workers' compensation coverage
- General liability insurance, named insured
- One contract across all 10 cities

Yes. Every agency on the platform classifies workers as W-2 employees with workers' comp, payroll taxes, and liability coverage. Colorado's wage floor is $15.16 (2026 statewide per COMPS Order #40; Denver higher) and we hold to it without exception.
