The Association of Teachers of Secondary Education (APSE) filed an appeal against the Ministry of Public Education for non-compliance with the payment of employers’ quotas, which is affecting their access to health.
The annoyance of APSE comes after the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) refused in March to certify the incapacity and provide the necessary medicines for a worker at the Lancé de Canaan de Rivas in Perez Zeledón, because the MEP owes quotas to the CCSS.
For this reason, the man named Calderón, who underwent an ambulatory surgery in Dr. Escalante Pradilla Hospital in San Isidro, was forced to continue working, although he had to rest.
On April 18th, the Constitutional Chamber ruled on in favor of Calderón and notified the hospital that he should be served until the appeal was resolved.
A similar situation happened to a teacher from Heredia, who reported last week that she went to a health center due to a virus, but they indicated that her employer was not paying in time.
The educator received the medical attention, but had to sign an invoice so that the Ebais will send the cost of the attention to the MEP.
