Employee Contribution

Current Regulations provide that every employee in Dominica must contribute an amount of 4% of his gross income to the DSS. In addition to the amount deducted from the Employee, the employer is also required to remit an amount of 7% (in respect of Employees With Redundancy) or 6.75% (in respect of Employees Without Redundancy). That amount represents the Employer's contribution on behalf of his employee. The employer is responsible for remitting the total amount (11% or 10.75% of the employee's gross wage) to the DSS on, or by the 14^th day of the following month.

It is the employee's responsibility to periodically check the DSS office to ensure that such contributions are paid, and to report all incidence of non-payment of contributions to the DSS. All information is treated with the strictest confidence.
