Marisol Vicens, of the Dominican Employers Confederation (COPADOM) says that the 5% wage increase for people earning up to RD$30,000 is not mandatory, as opposed to the 15% increase to the minimum wage. Vicens, speaking in El Caribe, said that the 5% is only a reference point and not required by all businesses. Vicens pointed out that some businesses had already gone ahead and given workers a pay raise, which doesn't oblige them to make any additional increases. She also said that as in the case of wage increases, they are only obliged to increase the minimum wages and not any other wage level.
The pay increase is retroactive to the 1 April 2007.
