Dominican Government workers to get “double wage” December 10 to 15
The 13th salary gives the country’s commerce a huge boost, as workers go "hog wild" buying and partying
SANTO DOMINGO.- The government announced that it will pay its workers their Christmas bonus “double wage” between December 10 to 15, affirming that there are no problems for its employees to receive their “thirteenth salary”.
The Presidency’s Administrative minister, Luis Manuel Boneti, did not specify the amount of the payroll, affirming that the necessary funds are available.
"If last year there was no fear, despite that we took over the public administration in conditions of the economy practically deteriorated, product of the badly handled economy by the last government, why are they going to fear now," he said.
Last year the double wage reached RD$2.8 billion and on this occasion a RD$400 million increase is expected, due to the 30 wage increase % that the Government workers received in 2005.
With the 13th salary, the country’s overall commerce gets a huge boost, as workers go on a spending spree of purchases and partying.
