The Minister added that these companies will have to comply with the safety and health of workers, with the payment of minimum wage, weekly rest, vacations and their enjoyment, without abusing excessive working hours. Likewise, Minister Olivares warned that, in the Dominican Republic, violations against workers will not be tolerated under any circumstances, so inspections will continue in different companies, regardless of whether their directors are Dominican or foreign.
