The president of the Dominican Association of Free Zones, Fernando Capellán is in favor of modifying the weekly work schedule. Capellán favors the government authorizing companies to be able to hire free zone employees for four-day 11-hour shifts. Separate personnel would be employed on the remaining three days. The advantage of this schedule is that employees could participate in training sessions on the fifth day or have a working day off to carry out their personal business.
