New LMRA Regulation Provides Financial Relief for Small Businesses, Says MP Al Salloom

Recent amendments to the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) regulations in Bahrain have introduced a new penalty system for businesses that employ workers without the necessary permits. The previous fixed fine approach has been replaced with a tiered system, aimed at reducing the financial burden on smaller firms. MP Ahmed Al Salloom, President of the Bahrain Small and Medium Enterprises Society, has expressed support for these changes, highlighting the benefits they bring to businesses, particularly smaller enterprises.

Under the new regulations, fines for violations vary depending on the length of time since the permit expired. For breaches that occur between 10 and 20 days after expiration, the fine is set at BD200, increasing to BD300 for violations between 20 and 30 days. This flexible system allows for reconciliation and scaled fines, making compliance more achievable for businesses. The shift towards a tiered penalty structure is expected to boost compliance and ease financial pressure on small businesses.

Al Salloom believes that the graduated fine system, starting with lower penalties that increase over time, will help businesses address issues before facing higher fines. This approach is particularly beneficial for small businesses facing cash flow challenges and delays in renewing worker registrations. The new regulations aim to create a more manageable fine structure, providing relief for businesses dealing with administrative issues.

The changes in the LMRA regulations align with broader legislative trends in Bahrain, including recent updates to the Traffic Law. The introduction of graduated fines and reconciliation reflects the government’s commitment to enhancing the effectiveness of the regulatory framework. The new penalty system is designed to encourage timely payments, reduce non-compliance, and promote overall adherence to regulations within the labour market.

Al Salloom is optimistic about the impact of these changes on the regulatory environment in Bahrain, foreseeing a more balanced and effective system that benefits both businesses and government entities. The royal decree will be reviewed in future legislative sessions, potentially leading to further adjustments in the labour market system. Overall, the revised approach to penalties for labour market violations is set to provide relief for small businesses and improve compliance across the industry.
