CR Labor Laws

[HellonWheels]

Does anyone know of a website that has the labor laws and what has to paid to employees in English? I saw a website a long time ago that had it, but can't recall it. Thanks

the law is so complex that even for a spanish speaker its hard to make sense of it!


I suggest to consult a lawyer that specializes in labor law and that speaks english.
If you still want to "do it yourself" there is a book called "legal guide to costa rica " or something along those lines

they might have it at "casa de las revistas" (There is one in the oficentro area in case you are in that part of town)
