  "summary_es": "La Sala Segunda de la Corte resuelve un reclamo laboral de personal técnico-docente del Ministerio de Educación Pública (MEP) que solicitaba el reconocimiento y pago de media hora extra diaria. La parte actora alegaba que su jornada excedía la ordinaria, pero el tribunal determina que está sujeta a una jornada laboral acumulativa, conforme a la normativa especial que regula el servicio educativo. La Sala analiza el régimen jurídico aplicable, incluyendo el Estatuto de Servicio Civil, el Código de Educación, el Código de Trabajo y el Reglamento Autónomo de Servicios del MEP (Decreto 5771-E), concluyendo que este último no se aplica al personal técnico-docente en centros educativos. En consecuencia, se rechaza la pretensión de horas extra, confirmando que la jornada cumplida se ajusta a la modalidad acumulativa permitida por la ley para este tipo de servidores, sin que exista un exceso que deba retribuirse como tiempo extraordinario. El fallo es unánime y de fondo.",
  "summary_en": "The Second Chamber of the Supreme Court rules on a labor claim by technical-teaching staff of the Ministry of Public Education (MEP) seeking recognition and payment of a half-hour of daily overtime. The plaintiff argued that their working hours exceeded the ordinary schedule, but the court determines that they are subject to an accumulated work schedule, in accordance with the special regulations governing educational services. The Chamber analyzes the applicable legal framework, including the Civil Service Statute, the Education Code, the Labor Code, and the MEP's Autonomous Service Regulation (Decree 5771-E), concluding that the latter does not apply to technical-teaching staff in educational centers. Consequently, the overtime claim is rejected, confirming that the schedule worked conforms to the cumulative modality permitted by law for this type of public servant, without any excess that should be compensated as extraordinary time. The ruling is unanimous and on the merits.",
