When investing in Costa Rica, companies must take into account that the national labour legislation is highly protective of employees, as it establishes obligations that employers must comply towards their staff. Therefore, it is important to understand, which are the amounts to be paid for labour benefits when moving operations to the country, and to not incur actions that violate the rights of employees, because this entitles employees to file lawsuits against employers claiming the satisfaction of such rights.
