President Leonel Fernandez has sent a bill to Congress that could considerably increase the cost of government. In an election year, President Fernandez is proposing that the government should pay severance when firing government employees. If passed by Congress, the proposed law would make it very expensive to dismiss any government workers. The number of government employees is considered to be more than three times what is actually needed. The general practice is for governments to add jobs, not to dismiss employees. As a result, there are thousands of opposition party members on the government payroll who would benefit from the situation. The bill establishes that in addition to severance, former workers would receive life and disability insurance. A limit of 12 monthly wages is set to the payments.
President Fernandez also sent a bill to Congress that aims to establish how a first half of the year tax surplus of RD$11.05 billion should be used.
