TL;DR
- The night shift will now begin at 7:00 p.m., instead of 9:00 p.m., due to the labor reform in Law 2466 of 2025.
- This change will increase labor costs for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
- Sectors like retail, gastronomy, tourism, transport, health, and private security will be significantly impacted.
- Reorganizing shifts and salary schemes presents operational difficulties for smaller companies.
- Financial limitations may lead some SMEs to operate informally to manage increased labor costs.
- Night work is now recognized between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., with a 35% surcharge on ordinary hourly rates.
- The hourly rate for night work has increased significantly, impacting daily and monthly earnings for night shift workers.
- While intended to protect workers, the reform could negatively affect the formality of employment in SMEs.
- Additional pressures include minimum wage increases and other labor obligations, potentially leading to higher informality.
