Flexible Work and Business Hours Expected During World Cup

As of this Friday many businesses in Costa Rica, including large companies like McFlorida Ice & Farm (Cerverceria de Costa Rica), Grupo Nación, Procter & Gamble, EPA, Intel, McDonalds, etc, will be allowing their employees to enjoy, at least a number if not all, the games of the World Cup.

That means that customer service and staff attention may suffer at times, as well work hours and schedules may be modified. In some cases hours of business may be altered, while others will allow their staff to watch the games during work hours.

World Cup fever is on and even though Costa Rica is not in the games this time around, people remember the euphoria of the last World Cup, even though Costa Rica was eliminated in the first round of play.

Cashing in on the World Cup fever are retailers, offering all types and sizes of television sets at World Cup prices, some with extremely flexible financing.

As to government employees, vice-president, Alfio Piva, said on Monday that no firm decision has been made as yet and will be suject of this discussion during this week's cabinet session.
