Compliant with Costarican laws and OTS policies

In Costa Rica, there are laws, regulations, and procedures that constitute the guidelines that both employers and employees must obey to keep a figure of equity and respect towards social equality. The most important of these documents is the Labor Code of Costa Rica, which regulates the rights and duties of employers and employees.

The Organization for Tropical Studies, represented for every legal act in Costa Rica by the General Director for Costa Rica, is responsible to insure the observance of the established norms and general rules that are indicated in the Labor Code. The General Direction has to be aware that the procedures of Human Resources Management are carried out in a suitable way, for all personnel hired by OTS. The General Director delegates these tasks in the Station Directors; so they as well, have to watch over the observance of administrative procedures on Human Resources.
