SummaryResumen
Circular 153, issued by the Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica on November 9, 2012, establishes administrative guidelines for the payment of salaries and travel expenses for trial judges of the Judicial Branch. It provides that judges of various jurisdictions (criminal, agrarian, administrative litigation, labor, family, civil, traffic, pensions) are not required to sign the trial minutes for the purpose of their salary payments, unless an express legal provision requires it. Additionally, it regulates the recognition of travel expenses when judges must relocate to conduct trials outside their usual workplace, setting amounts, procedures, and conditions for payment. The circular clarifies that immediate supervisors and human resources offices must not condition salary payment on the presentation of evidence proving the effective conduct of the trial, such as trial minutes, entry books, or reports; the certification of the immediate supervisor regarding the existence of the trial is sufficient. It is also established that, due to budgetary constraints, travel expense requests must be submitted with due advance notice and are subject to the availability of budgetary content by the Budget Section of the Executive Directorate.La Circular 153, emitida por la Corte Suprema de Justicia de Costa Rica con fecha 9 de noviembre de 2012, establece directrices administrativas para el pago de salarios y viáticos de los jueces de juicio del Poder Judicial. Dispone que los jueces de las diferentes materias (penal, agrario, contencioso-administrativo, trabajo, familia, civil, tránsito, pensiones) no están obligados a firmar las actas de debate para efectos del pago de sus salarios, salvo cuando exista una disposición legal expresa que lo requiera. Además, regula el reconocimiento de viáticos cuando los jueces deban trasladarse a realizar debates fuera de su sede habitual de trabajo, estableciendo montos, procedimientos y condiciones para su pago. La circular aclara que los jefes inmediatos y las oficinas de recursos humanos no deben condicionar el pago salarial a la presentación de documentación probatoria de la efectiva realización del debate, como actas de debate, libros de entradas o informes, sino que basta con la certificación del jefe inmediato sobre la existencia del debate. También se establece que, debido a las limitaciones presupuestarias, las solicitudes de viáticos deben presentarse con la debida antelación y estar sujetas a la disponibilidad de contenido presupuestario por parte de la Sección de Presupuesto de la Dirección Ejecutiva.
Key excerptExtracto clave
In order to guarantee and safeguard the independence of trial judges, duly appointed to exercise their office, Circular number 153-2012 of the Superior Council of the Judicial Branch provides that for the payment of salaries of such judicial officers, the signature of the trial minutes shall not be necessary, except in cases where an express legal provision requires it. The immediate supervisor or the human resources office, when managing or processing the payment, may not require the trial judge to present documentary evidence of the effective conduct of the trial, such as trial minutes, entry books, or reports. For these purposes, the certification issued by the immediate supervisor that the trial was indeed conducted shall be sufficient. In the case of travel expenses, a trial judge who must relocate to conduct trials outside their usual workplace shall be entitled to the recognition of travel expenses. The payment request must be submitted with due advance notice and the amounts shall be subject to the limits established in current provisions and the availability of budgetary content by the Budget Section of the Executive Directorate.Con el fin de garantizar y salvaguardar la independencia de los señores jueces de juicio, debidamente nombrados para el ejercicio del cargo, la Circular número 153-2012 del Consejo Superior del Poder Judicial dispone que para el pago de salarios de esos funcionarios judiciales no será necesaria la firma del acta de debate, salvo en aquellos casos en los que una disposición legal expresa así lo exija. El jefe inmediato o la oficina de recursos humanos, al momento de gestionar o tramitar el pago, no podrá exigir al juez de juicio la presentación de documentación probatoria de la efectiva realización del debate, tal como actas de debate, libros de entradas o informes. Para estos efectos, bastará con la certificación emitida por el jefe inmediato de que, en efecto, se realizó el debate. En el caso de los viáticos, el juez de juicio que deba trasladarse a realizar debates fuera de su sede habitual de trabajo tendrá derecho al reconocimiento de viáticos. La solicitud de pago deberá presentarse con la debida antelación y los montos estarán sujetos a los límites establecidos en las disposiciones vigentes y a la disponibilidad de contenido presupuestario por parte de la Sección de Presupuesto de la Dirección Ejecutiva.
