Overtime shifts

Frequently asked questions

How is a shift split between day and night hours?

The night surcharge starts at 7:00 PM from December 25, 2025 onward (before that, at 9:00 PM, under Law 2466 of 2025) and ends at 6:00 AM; the calculator automatically splits each shift’s hours between day and night based on the schedule in effect on the shift’s date.

What happens if the shift falls on a Sunday or holiday?

Hours worked on a Sunday or holiday are paid as HEDD (day) or HEND (night): the full hour plus the overtime surcharge (25% daytime or 75% night) plus the Sunday/holiday surcharge in effect on that date, which under Law 2466 of 2025 rises from 75% to 80% starting July 2025, to 90% starting July 2026, and to 100% starting July 2027.

What happens if the shift crosses midnight?

Each shift is split by the real day: hours before midnight count toward the shift’s date, and hours from 12:00 AM onward count toward the next day, with its own night schedule and its own surcharge if that next day is a Sunday or holiday.

How is the hourly value calculated?

The hourly value is the monthly salary divided by the monthly hours of the legal schedule in effect on the shift’s date (Law 2101 of 2021): the weekly schedule steps down from 46 hours through July 14, 2025, to 44 hours through July 14, 2026, and to 42 hours from then on; the monthly divisor is the weekly schedule times 5.

What does this calculator not include?

This calculator only settles OVERTIME hours (beyond the schedule). Ordinary-schedule surcharges (night, Sunday or holiday hours within the regular schedule) and compensatory rest are out of scope — Renaska Human Resources calculates those surcharges as part of full payroll.

Informational tool; it does not replace accounting, tax or labor advice.
