According to Executive Director of the Dominica Employers Federation(DEF), Achille Joseph, many Dominicans have lost their jobs and others are being encouraged to take their available leave days as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the business community. If employees do not wish to use their vacation leave at this time then the alternative is no paid leave.
Further, Joseph said that the federation is looking into establishing a social insurance that would be able to sustain employees while they are not employment.
He said, “We’ve met with the top leadership of social insurance and we agreed in principle on a method and a system whereby employees can get some of their lost earnings for a period of time”.
A fund has been identified to draw from and would need ministerial signature in order to utilize it as the fund was not originally designed for that purpose.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
