Public employees at least will have a half-day holiday June 9 when the Costa Rican national soccer team meets Germany in the inaugural game of the World Cup tournament.

Game time is 10 on a Friday morning here, and the contest will span roughly two hours. Since public employees generally leave work at 3 p.m., their maximum work time that day will be just three hours.

Private companies will be under intense pressure from their employees to follow the policy of the Arias administration.
