Colombia businesses have 19 working days in August 2026 — that's 31 calendar days minus 10 weekend days and 2 weekday public holidays (Battle of Boyacá, Assumption of Mary). Northern-hemisphere summer and Southern-hemisphere winter typically governs the work-rhythm in August; project deadlines and payroll cycles in Colombia should account for the holiday days listed above. August is comparatively quiet in the Christian calendar but includes Assumption of Mary on the 15th in Catholic countries and several civic anniversaries across South America. For pay-period planning, August 2026 contains 3 full work-weeks plus 4 additional weekdays, useful when scheduling milestones or quarterly reviews. The working-day count above counts substitute days as a single deduction — it does not double-count when a public holiday falling on a weekend is moved to a Monday or Friday. Use this figure as the authoritative baseline for Colombia payroll-period calculations.
