Congress passed a bill that authorizes the payment of the school bonus check. This would benefit municipal employees, those with government pensions. Workers would receive a bonus equal to the salary they receive. The bill is only pending the President's signature and publication.
The money from what is being called the 14th wage is to be used for the purchase of school supplies for the children of persons on the public payrolls. The bill was drafted by deputies Luis Jose Gonzalez Sanchez and Gladys Sofia Azcona.
The proposal will only benefit persons that receive up to 12 minimum salaries in the public sector. (Twelve minimum salaries is about RD$60,000 per month)
The bonus will be for 80% for those that receive up to two minimum salaries; 60% for those that earn between four and eight minimum salaries; 40% for the people that earn between eight and eleven salaries and 30% for those that earn up to 12 minimum salaries.
This money should be used to purchase school supplies for the children of government employees. The money is exempt from income taxes or any other taxes.
