The Dominican Ministry of Labor reminded employers on January 1st, 2021, that they must submit to the Labor Department a certified list of staff employed on a fixed-term basis for an indefinite period, within fifteen days following the starting of their activities.

According to article 15 of regulation number 258-93 annually, every employer is obliged to submit to the Department of Labor, within fifteen (15) days following the starting of its activities, a certified list of the personnel employed on a fixed-term basis for an indefinite period or for a specific work or service, stating the salary corresponding of each worker, his or her name, nationality, occupation, number and serial number of the identity card and his or her gender.
