The monthly salary earned by the worker is divided by the total number of hours per month, obtaining the value of the hour based on the change in the day.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To this new value of the hour, the surcharge percentage for overtime hours (1.25 percent) must be applied, which will imply an increase in its value, without the surcharge percentage having been modified.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #8bbc57;\">\u00a0What sanctions do companies that do not comply with the new working hours period?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Employers may be subject to administrative risks. The Ministry of Labor may carry out sanctioning processes in the event of non-compliance with labor regulations. The Ministry may impose sanctions of up to 5,000 current legal minimum wages (with its respective conversion to UVT). This value may be graduated depending on the discretion of the administrative authority, but in practice these sanctions amount to between 120-200 current legal monthly minimum wages.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Also to judicial risks, since workers can file claims before labor judges, requesting payment of overtime for not having modified the working day, the repayment of social benefits and contributions to the social security system and possible compensation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #8bbc57;\">Can a worker sue a company that is not complying, what is the process like?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That&#8217;s right, workers will be able to go to administrative (Ministry of Labor) and judicial (labor judges) channels to claim their rights.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #8bbc57;\">What if, for example, they have not carried out the reduction from 48 to 47 hours either?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The risk increases, since the magnitude of the non-compliance is greater and, therefore, its effects in the event of a possible sanction and\/or labor lawsuit will have greater impacts for employers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #8bbc57;\"><strong>Is it true that with this law, family day will disappear, and if so, when?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That&#8217;s right, with the reduction of the working period, the obligation to grant the semi-annual working day to share with the family disappears (Law 1857 of 2017). However, for this elimination to operate, the maximum working period must be reduced to 42 hours, so, in practical terms, only until July 2026 will this obligation be eliminated (or in the event that companies have decided to adopt the 42-hour working period in advance).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #8bbc57;\">What other important changes does the law bring?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The law establishes the possibility of carrying out a gradual reduction with respect to the obligation to grant two hours per week dedicated exclusively to recreational, cultural, sports or training activities (article 21 of Law 50 of 1990). This reduction must be carried out by mutual agreement between the employer and the workers. It is important to highlight that this reduction in the maximum legal working period may establish additional internal processes for employers, such as updating payroll settlement software and updating internal documents and policies, including the Internal Labor Regulations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><em><span class=\"TextRun SCXW258825572 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW258825572 BCX0\">NOELIA CIGUENZA RIA\u00d1O &#8211; DEPUTY ECONOMICS EDITOR EL TIEMPO<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW258825572 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eltiempo.com\/economia\/sectores\/abece-de-los-cambios-que-vendran-con-la-reduccion-de-la-jornada-laboral-desde-hoy-en-colombia-3362197\">https:\/\/www.eltiempo.com\/economia\/sectores\/abece-de-los-cambios-que-vendran-con-la-reduccion-de-la-jornada-laboral-desde-hoy-en-colombia-3362197<\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From now on, employees will go from working 47 hours a week to 46.
