The Ministry of Labor is considering approving new working hour labor schemes for Dominican industries. The Ministry recently authorized the Cerveceria Nacional Dominicana to operate four days a week in 11-hour shifts (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), as a pilot program. Workers would get 3 days off (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The president of the Dominican Association of Free Zones, Fernando Capellan has requested the new working hour scheme be authorized for Dominican free zones.
