Labor reform: this is how permanent and indefinite contracts would work

Labor reform: this is how permanent and indefinite contracts would work

On the night of March 17, President Gustavo Petro and his cabinet filed before Congress their project of labour reformone of the president’s flags during his electoral campaign.

(Read: These are the changes of the labor reform filed in Congress).

The Ministry of Labor has described it as a reform “built with the people and for the people.” For this reason, one of the objectives of the project is that companies bind their workers to indefinite-term contracts and that those with a fixed term are greater than one month. Even for up to two years to meet the temporary needs of the employer.

This must be in writing and clarifying the temporary need to be addressed.

The reform also seeks to put an end to contracts for the provision of services. In this sense, there will be “employment contracts for the duration of a work or work” in which the employee will be entitled to vacation pay and social benefits. They must be made in writing or it will be understood that they are for an indefinite term.

(In addition: With doubts about employment and informality, the labor reform was filed).

In addition, there will be changes in the surcharges, since the hours worked before 6 am and after 6 pm will be classified as ‘extra’. In additionthe Sunday payment will be 100% and not 70%.

The reform also refers to salary readjustments. In this regard, it is known that any worker who earns up to two monthly legal minimum wages in force will be entitled to a salary readjustment in a percentage at least equal to the CPI caused as of December 31 of the previous year.

(See: ‘This bill seeks to dignify work’, Petro).

This readjustment will be applied retroactively to January 1 of each year without prejudice to thes individual or collective agreements that establish a higher increase.
