Los trabajadores que reciben doble prima en diciembre: requisitos que deben cumplir

TL;DR

  • Workers in Colombia receive a 'prima de servicios' (service bonus) in December.
  • This bonus is legally mandated and equivalent to one month's salary per year of work.
  • It is paid in two installments: one before June 30th and another before December 20th.
  • Employers failing to pay on time face legal sanctions and fines.
  • Formal employees, including those on fixed or indefinite contracts, domestic workers, drivers, and rural workers, are entitled to the bonus.
  • Independent contractors, apprentices without formal links, and those on service agreements are not eligible.
