Public
Employees To Have Time Off To Watch Soccer
Game
Costa Rican president, Oscar Arias is a
faultless soccer fan and strong supporter of
the "selección" (national soccer team),
Saturday night he was seen in his red jersey
to support the "muchachos", bringing the a
lucky night against Trinidad & Tobago.
And as such yesterday he said
that all public sector employees will have 3
hours off during the day tomorrow
(Tuesday) to watch the Sub 20 semi-final
game against Brazil.
The game is on at noon time and public
sector employees will have time off until
3pm to watch the game at work or wherever.
In a possible repeat of the World Cup games,
many companies - public and private - set up
a common area for employees to watch the
game and return to work. If they are allowed
to go home (or wherever), it is quite likely
that the majority will not return to work.
It is not known how this will effect public
services. We can only surmise that many functions
will slow down even more tomorrow.
If the Selección wins on Tuesday they will move
on to the finals against either Hungary or
Ghana.
If you have any business with a public
agency on Tuesday, best is to do it before
noon or wait until Wednesday. Don't say you
weren't warned.
