In Colombia, work hours are regulated by Law 2101 of 2021 and the Colombian Labor Code (Código Sustantivo del Trabajo). These rules define the maximum weekly working hours, daily schedules, rest periods, and overtime.

In Colombia, standard working hours are gradually being reduced. The maximum weekly hours are as follows as per Colombian Labor Laws:

• Until July 14, 2024: 48 hours per week
• From July 15, 2024: 46 hours per week
• From July 15, 2025: 44 hours per week
