Answered here in full, so you can finish the decision on this page.
Employer contributions run ~12 to 14% (NIS, NHT, HEART, education tax) in Jamaica and ~18 to 22% on top of gross in Dominican Republic, on top of gross salary. Severance also differs, 2 weeks/year (first 10 yrs) + 3 weeks/year after in Jamaica against Cesantía based on tenure in Dominican Republic, and mandatory extras differ too (Not statutory versus 13th salary (Regalía), paid Dec). Because local salary levels differ as well, XCAILE prices both countries for the same role in one written quote before you choose.
Time to first hire through EOR is 3 to 15 days to hire in Jamaica and 3 to 15 days to hire in Dominican Republic. XCAILE is the legal employer in both, so no entity is needed in either country and the difference comes from local onboarding and payroll calendars, not from setup.
Jamaica sits at UTC−5 and Dominican Republic at UTC−4. Language pools differ too: English (official), Patois in Jamaica, Spanish (native), English (strong in call-center segment) in Dominican Republic. For customer-facing or executive-support work, overlap and language usually matter more than the employer cost gap.
Notice is 2 to 12 weeks (tenure) in Jamaica and 7 to 28 days in Dominican Republic; severance is 2 weeks/year (first 10 yrs) + 3 weeks/year after against Cesantía based on tenure. Probation is Up to 90 days in Jamaica and 3 months in Dominican Republic. If the role is uncertain, the shorter-exposure country is often the safer first hire, and XCAILE confirms the exact exit cost in writing before any termination.
Yes. XCAILE covers both countries under a single master agreement, with EOR employment, AOR contractor compliance, or a managed SOW team, and confirms current statutory obligations in writing before any offer letter is issued. One invoice, one point of contact, two countries.
