Contract Labor/Contract work
I think what would be expected then, and hopefully you get a second opinion here on the board as well, is
- Monthly or Weekly salary
- Last paycheck would include the % of earned vacationmoney ( 2 weeks per year split in the amount of worked days with you )
- X-mas bonus ( double salary ) split in the amount of days worked with you.
- Health insurance

I would speak to a lawyer. We have been advised in the past that contract (fixed time frame) work is not possible. You either hire them full time and pay all the necessary rates, insurance and severance, or retire them on the 89th day.
We would love to employee people at DR1 on contract for short term projects, but have been advised against it, as the labor laws do not recognize this type of employment option.
You will also find other threads on this subject.

If you go to www.phlaw.com and go to their publications section, you will see an Executive Summary (in English) of the Dominican Labor Laws. It will answer all your questions.nugirlnyc said:
Any employee over 90 days is considered an indefinite employee and entitled to all benefits (vacation, christmas bonus, etc.). If you terminate an employee before 90 days and rehire him in less than 3 months, the Labor Dept. will assume that you terminated him and rehired him to circuumvent paying benefits and will rule that they are owed to the employee. The only times an employee can be hired for a definite period of time is when the job itself is temporary or the employee is replacing another employee who is away for sick leave or vacation.
Heard of one way
As far as I know, You can use a contractor from an contract company, and they are liable for all the bennies. you are only responsible for the contract amount. the employee does not belong to you. Just like in the US.
