Employing in Nicaragua
Workers’ rights in Nicaragua are spelled out in several laws, such as:
- The Nicaraguan Constitution of 1987
- The Labor Code of 1996
- The 1904 Civil Code of the Republic of Nicaragua
- The Law of Equal Rights and Opportunities (i.e. Law 648)
— all of which guarantee equal pay for equal work, safe working environements, job stability, unemployment compensation, regular vacations and protections against discrimination based on age, gender, disability, religion, and race.
Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off.
