When Bremer said Salaries were paid with US Dollars how does he account for this?

http://www.iraqcoalition.org/budget/IraqCurrencyExchange.html
Starting on October 15th 2003 a new national currency known as the �new Iraqi dinar� will begin to replace the existing currency, the �old dinar�, and the currency used in the North of Iraq, the �swiss dinar�. The new Iraqi dinar will create a single unified currency that is used throughout all of Iraq and will also make money more convenient to use in people�s everyday lives.
<snip>
How will the exchange occur?
(1) People will come to banks with their currency
(2) Currency will be counted and its equivalent value in new currency will be paid
(3) Old currency will be promptly marked and will then be destroyed
(4) Those with bank accounts will see their balances automatically converted. Salaries will begin to be paid in the new dinar at the earliest available opportunity.
<snip>

Will salaries be paid in new dinars?
Yes. After the exchange has begun, salaries will begin to be paid in new Iraqi dinars.
