A Costa Rican court has rejected former Banco Popular manager Marvin Rodríguez’s claim for higher pay, but the dispute is continuing before the country’s Second Chamber.

Rodríguez sought compensation for the difference between a salary of 9.5 million colones and one of 16.95 million colones. A lower court rejected his lawsuit in the first instance.

The case now faces a cassation appeal, and Banco Popular has asked that the original decision remain in place. The dispute centers on a directive issued by the government of Carlos Alvarado in 2018.
