Colombia: Regulating the Social Protection Floor

The National Development Plan 2018-2022, “Pact for Colombia, Pact for Equity”, created the Social Protection Floor (SPF) for those employees and independent contractors that, working under part-time contracts, earn less than a monthly minimum wage; however, regulation on the matter was needed for being applicable. Therefore, through Decree 1174 the national government regulated the access conditions to the SPF, as well as other matters.

Colombia: Constitutional Court weighs Constitutionality of Special Decree reducing the pension contribution rate for two months and declares its unconstitutionality

The Colombian Constitutional Court analysed Decree 558 in their decision C-258, 2020, and declared its unconstitutionality. The Court considered it implied a clear violation to social rights and a change of purpose to resources specially created for financing pensions, which did not guarantee a financial sustainability of the system. Therefore, Decree 558 did not pass the material connection and motivation tests run by the Court.
