The mandated increases of 30% on minimum wages and 25% on monthly wages of up to RD$20,000 for companies with assets of more than RD$500,000 should be seen on 30 November pay checks, if the increases are not appealed. The National Salaries Commission has yet to rule on any wage increase for the free zone, tourism and construction sectors. The wage increase is to be applied as of 15 November and thus checks paid out on 30 November should reflect the new scales.
