IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The deadline for employers to register their current employees in the Unique Registry of Foreign Workers in Colombia (RUTEC) system has been extended.
What does the change mean? Employers must register their foreign employees, employment contracts information and social security affiliation on the RUTEC online portal by March 9. Registration in RUTEC must be completed within 120 calendar days after the date of the labor contract for new employees.
Background: The new registry, which was introduced in October, is a tool for labor authorities to monitor immigrant labor and to ensure that employers are fulfilling all requirements regarding labor contracts, working conditions and social benefits to guarantee the rights of immigrant employees. The ministry extended the deadline for employers to apply due to the low number of foreigners currently registered in the system. The original registration deadline was Feb. 8.
Analysis & Comments: Employers should register existing foreign employees as soon as possible and no later than March 9.
