What is the next holiday in Colombia, what is celebrated and how much is paid for working that day?

TL;DR

Colombia will observe a long weekend on Monday, May 18th, for the Ascension of the Lord holiday.
This religious holiday is part of the Ley Emiliani, which moves some holidays to Mondays to create long weekends and stimulate the economy.
Workers laboring on May 18th are entitled to enhanced pay, with the surcharge for Sundays and holidays now at 80%, set to increase to 100% by 2027.
The labor reform also impacts night surcharges and overtime, potentially leading to higher earnings for those working during these periods.
Failure to pay the correct surcharges may result in economic sanctions for businesses.
