Costa Rica Compliance

Compliance in Costa Rica is governed by the Código de Trabajo and supervised by the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS). Employers must contribute approximately 10-20% for social security and pensions, with standard payroll cycles being bi-weekly or monthly. A key risk for foreign companies is misclassifying workers or incorrectly filing with the CCSS, leading to severe penalties. PayDD, as your official Employer of Record, assumes full legal liability. We ensure accurate classification, timely CCSS filings, and correct calculation and payment of all employer contributions, eliminating your compliance exposure.

Case Study

A US-based SaaS company needed to quickly onboard five developers in Costa Rica but was stalled by complex CCSS registration and slow, expensive SWIFT transfers to fund local payroll. Using PayDD's EOR service, they bypassed entity setup entirely. Our AI KYC verified employees in 2 hours, and we leveraged our T+0 global settlement to instantly fund the Costa Rican payroll in CRC, avoiding SWIFT delays and fees. The team was compliantly hired and paid within 48 hours, saving the company over $15,000 in setup costs and legal fees.
