Labor Law

We create compliant employment agreements covering probation periods, benefits, termination terms, and all requirements under the Costa Rican Labor Code to protect both employer and employee.

We review your employment practices for compliance with Costa Rican labor law, identify violations or areas of risk, and provide actionable recommendations to correct them.

We calculate severance obligations (prestaciones), ensure proper notice is given, and guide you through the termination process to avoid wrongful dismissal claims.

We mediate and resolve employee disputes efficiently, and represent employers before Costa Rican labor courts when litigation becomes necessary.

We register your employees with the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social, calculate employer and employee contribution rates, and ensure timely payment to avoid penalties.

We design benefits packages that include the mandatory aguinaldo (13th-month bonus), vacation entitlements, and voluntary benefits, all structured within Costa Rican legal requirements.

We help you comply with occupational health and safety laws, implement required workplace safety protocols, and prepare for inspections by the Ministry of Labor.

We advise on union relations, negotiate collective bargaining agreements on your behalf, and ensure your organization complies with all collective labor rights under Costa Rican law.
