Current Regulations provide that every employee in Dominica must contribute an amount of 6.5% of his gross income to the DSS. In addition to the amount deducted from the Employee, the employer is required to contribute an amount of 7.75% (in respect of Employees with Redundancy) or 7.50% (in respect of Employees without Redundancy) on behalf of his employee. The employer is responsible for remitting the total amount (14.25% or 14% 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 any incidence of non-payment of contributions to the DSS. All information is treated with the strictest confidence.
