The president of the Organizing Committee of the Santo Domingo 2003 Pan American Games says that as the committee gets into full swing only full time employees will remain on the payroll. News reports say that the Organizing Committee payroll is of more than RD$700,000 a month, of which most are part time employees. Jose Joaquin Puello said that only those that can put in minimum eight-hour shifts will remain as there is too much work to be done.
