The Dominican government has launched a specialized Minimum Wage Hotline to strengthen enforcement of the Minimum Wage Order 2025 that took effect December 1, 2025. Operated by the Ministry of Labour, Public Service Reform, Social Partnership, Entrepreneurship, and Small Business Development, this initiative represents a significant advancement in worker protection mechanisms.
According to an official release from the Office of the Prime Minister, the hotline serves as a centralized resource for both employees and employers seeking authoritative information on sector-specific minimum wage regulations. The system is designed to provide clarity on compensation standards across different industries while ensuring proper implementation of the new wage order.
The comprehensive service enables workers to report violations where compensation falls below legally mandated thresholds, offers guidance on compliance requirements, and provides sector-specific implementation strategies. The government emphasizes that this initiative reflects its commitment to ensuring fair compensation practices and safeguarding workers’ rights across all economic sectors.
Accessible through multiple communication channels, the public can contact the Ministry’s compliance officers via direct phone call, WhatsApp messaging at 767-316-3195, or email at minimumwage@dominica.gov.dm. All inquiries and reports will be handled with strict confidentiality, according to official assurances from the ministry.
The establishment of this dedicated hotline represents a proactive approach to labor rights enforcement, providing a direct mechanism for addressing wage disparities and promoting equitable compensation practices throughout Dominica’s workforce.
