Labour relationships in Colombia have been governed by the Colombian Labour Code since 1961, which has been amended by a series of subsequent laws, of which the most important are Decree-Law 2351 of 1965, and Laws 50 of 1990 and 789 of 2002.
Along with the aforementioned regulations, employer–employee relations are also governed by Law 100 of 1993, which regulates the Social Security System, amended by Laws 797 of 2003 and 1122 of 2007.
