Boulder County is the third local jurisdiction with its own minimum wage.
Unincorporated Boulder County (the parts not inside Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, etc.) has its own local minimum wage ordinance, separate from the city of Boulder and from Colorado state minimum. Routing logic is identical to Denver and Edgewater: shift location controls.
Boulder County Wage Routing
Auto-applies Boulder County's local minimum wage to any shift located inside unincorporated Boulder County, distinct from incorporated cities within the county.
What those rules do for shifts in unincorporated Boulder County.
The hero card configuration: Block on save below local minimum, Flag on shift assignment. Same logic as Denver and Edgewater.
Saving a shift in unincorporated Boulder County at a rate below the county minimum fails. The save cannot proceed.
When a worker accepts a Boulder County shift, the timesheet tags with the applicable rate. Payroll uses the local rate for that segment of work.

Unincorporated Boulder County, by ordinance.
Boulder County's local minimum wage applies only to unincorporated portions of the county — the parts not inside an incorporated city. Cities within the county may have their own ordinances or fall back to state minimum.
Geographic scope
Boulder County's local minimum applies only to the unincorporated portions — generally rural areas, smaller communities, and unannexed land. Incorporated cities like Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, and Superior are outside the county ordinance's reach (each may have its own rules).
Determining incorporated vs. unincorporated
The Boulder County Assessor's parcel records identify which parcels fall inside which jurisdiction. For a worksite or worker assignment, the parcel — not the mailing address — is controlling.
Teambridge resolves parcel jurisdiction automatically.
Boulder County requires more careful jurisdiction lookup than Denver or Edgewater because of the unincorporated/incorporated distinction. Teambridge resolves it automatically.
Parcel determines jurisdiction.
When a shift address is entered, Teambridge resolves the parcel's actual jurisdiction (unincorporated Boulder County vs. incorporated city). The applicable minimum wage follows.
Ambiguous addresses surface to admin.
If an address resolves to a boundary or annexation pending area, the shift is flagged for jurisdiction confirmation before being made available to workers.
County rate is the floor.
Save attempts below the unincorporated Boulder County minimum are blocked. The wage routing matches Denver and Edgewater logic — local rate enforced at the source.
Per-stop rate calculation.
For home health, delivery, and similar roles with multiple stops, each stop's hours pay the rate applicable to that stop's actual jurisdiction. Calculated per segment.
