What it costs to fall behind
Most labor problems for small employers don’t come from bad faith, but from not having time to check.
Late or miscalculated PILA payments
Late-payment interest, notices from the UGPP (the social security audit agency) and workers left without coverage when they need it most.
Informal contracts and settlements
Miscalculated benefits that end in claims or labor lawsuits.
No occupational health and safety system
Fines of up to 20 monthly minimum wages for a small business (Law 1562 of 2012 and Decree 472 of 2015).

“We don’t just speak from theory: we speak from experience.”
Before founding Sala Laboral, I lived the day-to-day of running businesses, from HR director to general manager. I led teams, watched every peso and pursued growth without neglecting people: the same challenges you face today.
More than 11 years in HR and social security, in Colombian SMEs and with international teams. That’s why I know the weight of a payroll, a stuck procedure or a lawsuit that could have been avoided.
Behind every payroll, contract or procedure there are families, dreams and real lives. My promise is simple:
Stop worrying about payroll this month.
