With the recent declaration of a State of Emergency in the Dominican Republic decreed to curb the spread of COVID-19, labor relations have been and will be considerably affected, since part of the measures taken by the Dominican State include the temporary closure of public and private companies and entities, as well as the closure of all borders.
In order to reduce the impact of the current crisis on the country’s main productive sectors and their collaborators, the Dominican government recently created the Employee Solidarity Assistance Fund (FASE), which will basically provide for a subsidy for the payment of employees’ salaries in order to help companies with their April and May 2020 payroll obligations. The aid will cover monthly salaries of up to RD$8,500 per employee, on the condition that the employee is kept on the company’s payroll.
The FASE program will be rolled out next Thursday, April 2nd. On this date the Dominican Government will enable online access for all companies to submit their applications; therefore, we invite you to consider this opportunity promptly, so you are able to apply in time and benefit from the program.
For more information about the FASE program and other news related to the Dominican Government measures to counter the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, please visit our COVID-19 Resource Center.
Should your company decide to apply for the FASE program, Guzmán Ariza is fully prepared to assist you with the required application process.
