On June 15, 2016, Costa Rica's National Wages Council
("Consejo Nacional de Salarios") approved a 0.5%
increase to the minimum wage for all private sector employees,
except for domestic workers whose salaries will be increased by 2%.
This salary increase will be effective on July 1, 2016.
Private sector employers are mandated to increase the wages only
for employees whose salary is at the minimum wage level. For all
other employees, any salary adjustment is voluntary.
Once the increase is published on the Official Gazette, the
Ministry of Labor and Social Security will publish the list of
minimum wages per occupation on its official page, here, where previous lists of minimum wages
remain available.
