Paying SIO contributions late
We paid the SIO bill late this month. Will there be a charge?
The situation
Late payment charges apply under SIO rules.
The law
- Social Insurance Law, Decree-Law No. 24 of 1976 as amended by Law No. 14 of 2022: Employers register staff with the SIO and pay monthly contributions; the employer share for Bahrainis rises by one point a year
