Need advise..
An expat was hired by a Puerto Rico firm to work for a Dominican company
His salary was paid outside the dominican to aviod paying Dominican taxes, however this employee was told that all legal requirements of the Dominican were being taken care of by the Dominican company. Now after 5 years of faithful service (in which this employee made millions of dollars for the Dominican Company) the company has cut his salary in half, removed all benifits (ie: insurance, vacation, etc) and was told that if he made waves he would have to pay Dominican taxes. I read somewhere that the former president passed a law that fined Dominican companies 30 times the employee's salary for failing to insure proper documentation. The employee is basically being held prisoner without the benifit of being able to leave the country. What legal protection is there under these circumstances ?
