COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN COLOMBIA AND ECUADOR OF THE CREATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REDUCTION OF THE MAXIMUM WORKING DAY
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article was prepared with the purpose of answering the following research question: How has the creation and implementation of the reduction of working hours been in the countries of Colombia and Ecuador? The research was carried out methodologically from the parameters of the interpretive paradigm, using a qualitative approach and using the methods of general hermeneutics and legal hermeneutics. The comparative study between these two countries revealed that, in general, the reduction of working hours turns out to be highly beneficial for both workers and employers. This is because it improves task performance, increases productivity, reduces work stress, and reduces absences and work-related illnesses. For workers, it also means more time for personal activities such as family, leisure, rest and study, which in turn allows greater concentration at work.
