عقوبات عدم الامتثال لتأمين العمال المنزليين

Primary: Fines + visa rejection losses (estimated AED 5,000–15,000 per worker non-compliance incident). Secondary: Cost of emergency insurance procurement and visa re-application (AED 500–1,500 per case). Tertiary: Lost productivity per worker (AED 2,000–5,000/month during visa processing delays).

Employers who fail to provide or properly document health insurance for domestic workers face rejection of work permit applications, visa non-renewal (forcing workers to leave UAE), and administrative penalties. The requirement applies nationwide (Dubai via DHA, Abu Dhabi via DOH). Non-compliance is now a prerequisite blocker—no live policy = no visa.

التزامات استبدال العامل والتعويضات (Worker Replacement & Compensation Liability)

Per violation: Full refund of recruitment fees (typically 10–20% of annual worker salary = AED 2,000–8,000 per case) plus estimated damages (AED 5,000–15,000 per employer claim for placement delay and hiring costs)[4]; Typical agency loses 2–5 cases/month = AED 34,000–115,000/month opportunity cost

Agencies must ensure domestic workers meet all employer-specified conditions (experience, educational qualifications, certificates)[1]. Failure to match worker profile to job offer, or misrepresentation of worker qualifications, triggers refund and compensation obligations[4]. Legal disputes over 'breach of contract' claims extend the cost impact.

خسارة المخزون بسبب السرقة والتلف (Inventory Shrinkage Due to Theft and Damage)

Estimated 2–5% of inventory cost annually; for AED 500,000 inventory value = AED 10,000–25,000/year loss.

Inventory shrinkage caused by theft, unauthorized usage, damage, or misplacement in household services supply chains. Manual record-keeping delays detection of losses until year-end audits.

VAT penalties: AED 5,000–50,000 per audit finding; Administrative labor: 40–80 hours/quarter × AED 150/hour = AED 6,000–12,000/quarter.

VAT filing penalties and audit failures caused by poor inventory documentation and mismatched supplier invoices. Unreconciled inventory purchases affect VAT input credit claims.
