With an estimated $700 million in the Government Development Bank’s coffers and a Treasury Department that reported $488.6 million in revenue collections in November, Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla announced Sunday public sector employees will receive their Christmas bonuses, as established by law.
About 950 Puerto Rico-based private-sector companies have asked the Department of Labor and Human Resources to be exempted from paying this year’s Christmas bonus, the agency revealed Tuesday.
