The 14th salary

[NewsWhore]

Congress has passed the "14th salary" bill, which stipulates that government employees who make up to RD$30,000 per month will be paid an extra paycheck prior to the start of the school year. This payment is intended for the purchase of school supplies for their children. Public employees who only earn a minimum salary will get the complete "14th salary" paycheck while those who make the equivalent of two minimum salaries will get 80% of their salaries as part of the 14th salary. Those who make between four and five minimum salaries will receive 60% of their salaries.
