Internal Work Regulation in Colombia: A Business Guide

The Internal Work Regulation is a fundamental document that governs labor relations within a company. Mandatory for organizations with more than 5 employees in commercial activities or 10 in industrial sectors, this document clearly outlines the rules, rights, and obligations of both employers and employees. Based on the Colombian Labor Code and in accordance with the regulations set by the Ministry of Labor, the regulation specifies essential aspects such as work schedules, rest periods, hygiene and safety standards, disciplinary procedures, employee benefits, and the sanctions applicable for non-compliance.

The proper drafting and registration of the Internal Work Regulation not only facilitate clear and transparent communication within the workplace but also serve as a preventive mechanism against conflicts and legal disputes. By maintaining an updated and well-communicated document, the company protects itself from potential economic penalties imposed by the Ministry of Labor and fosters a culture of compliance and responsibility.
