Engaging a team in the Dominican Republic comes with rules
Even routine missteps can trigger serious costs:
With expert guidance on labor regulations, worker classification, and compliance updates, you’ll have the clarity to make the right decisions.
Stay compliant. Scale with confidence.
Misclassify a contractor?
If they follow your schedule or use your tools, they may be treated as employees, triggering back pay and benefits.
Skip profit-sharing or the Christmas bonus?
Employers must pay 10% of profits and a 1/12th salary as December bonus. Missing either can lead to claims and fines.
Handle ‘desahucio’ incorrectly?
Terminating without cause still requires advance notice. Miss it, and you owe daily penalties plus severance.

Frequently asked questions
Establishing a local entity gives full control, but it also comes with significant cost, complexity, and ongoing obligations. Many companies prefer to first work with compliance experts to understand local requirements, contractor risks, and potential liabilities before committing to entity setup.
We help businesses navigate the Dominican Republic labor laws, worker classification, tax implications, and evolving regulations, so you can operate with clarity and confidence.
Look for proven local expertise, up-to-date knowledge of labor code changes, and the ability to provide practical, actionable guidance. A strong partner should help you identify risks, reduce penalties, and make informed decisions as you grow in the Dominican Republic market.
