Facts & Stats

Dominica sits north of Martinique and South of Guadeloupe in a belt of French-influenced islands in the heart of the Caribbean. Often Confused with the Dominican Republic, Dominica is much smaller in terms of population and economic output.

The island has been traditionally reliant on agriculture and sadly predisposed to hurricanes which constantly place this industry into peril. Since the turn of the century, Dominica has seen a groundswell of interest from tourists looking to explore the natural beauty of the island. There is also a burgeoning offshore financial services sector driving some growth in the country.

Grow your team in Dominica with Remote

You can pay contractors now in Dominica with Remote in some currencies (talk to a Remote expert now for more details).

Companies hiring in Dominica are typically required to either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider to employ on the company's behalf. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Dominica can get complicated fast, especially without localised expertise. If you’re looking to start hiring in a country like this, using a global HR platform like Remote makes it easy to hire workers in full compliance with all local legislation. In the countries where we do offer our Employer of Record product, Remote takes on responsibility for compliance so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.

Risks of misclassification

Dominica, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Dominica may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
