New protections for Utah workers bar employers from directing how employees handle voluntary interactions with law enforcement — meaning employers cannot require, prohibit, or penalize workers for choosing to cooperate with (or decline to cooperate with) a police or immigration officer, as long as that cooperation is voluntary and not legally mandated. One exception allows employers to require employees to protect the employer's own legal rights during work-related law enforcement encounters. Workers or job applicants who experience retaliation can sue for monetary damages or other relief in court.
