Hi I am planning to move to the island this year and purchase or open a bar. Can anyone give me an idea of labor costs for a bar. Wages and taxes etc for server, bartender, cook and I also heard there is a 13th salary is that correct.
Any specific things I need to be aware of as far as laws go that might be different there.

any feed back would be appreciated

cheers

In general, tip making positions earn about 5,000 a month full time cooks a little more 13th month is paid in December as a x-mas bonus. If after a period of employment there is "Liquadation", severance pay. Planner has the up to date numbers Most informal workers make an average of 2 to 300 pesos a day. I know zip about the employee taxes. James should be able to tell you also Planner is very strict about the labor laws. PM me on your progress You can own a business here ,but can"t "work" in it without residencia
