Labour implications of the World Cup: a practical guide for companies in Costa Rica, Chile and Peru

With the start of the World Cup, many companies are facing a concrete reality: several matches will be played during working hours. This raises legitimate questions about how to manage absenteeism, late arrivals, alcohol consumption in the work environment and the possibility of providing flexibility to teams, all without incurring legal risks or affecting the operability of the business.

In response to this need, ECIJA's labour law practices in Costa Rica, Chile and Peru have produced a comparative labour law report that analyses, country by country, the regulatory implications that employers need to consider during this period.

The report is intended as a practical decision-making tool: it offers concrete answers to the most frequent situations that will arise during these weeks, based on the current legislation of each of the three countries.
