Administrative Fine Policy
By law, all resident employees in Aruba must be registered with the SVb to be covered by the Sickness Insurance and Accident Insurance. If the employer does not give the employee the opportunity to register with SVb, they are depriving the employee of the protection that these insurances offer. They are also committing fraud by not paying premiums for these insurances.
With the Administrative Fines Management SVb has been given more authority to address these problems. All employers have the obligation to provide complete and accurate information, and to comply with the registration of their employees with SVb. For non-compliance with these obligations, SVb may impose an Administrative Fine.

Administrative Fine Amount
In case SVb finds an infraction, SVb has different guidelines in the Administrative Fine Procedure to determine whether to impose a fine and how high the fine can be. This procedure determines how the Administrative Fine is applied as set out in the Landsverordening Ziekteverzekering and Landsverordening Ongevallenverzekering. Among other things, it is determined:
• Who imposes the fine.
• How the fine is imposed.
• When the fine expires.
• How the amount of the fine is determined.
This procedure is to ensure that the law is applied in a proportional and uniform manner.

Individual cases
When determining the fine, SVb must take into account each individual case and act on the principle of proportionality (‘evenredigheidsbeginsel’). This means that when determining the fine, the severity of the infraction, the culpability of the employer and the circumstances of the specific case are taken into account.

Fine amounts per category
Initially, SVb will not impose a fine of the maximum amount of Afl. 500,000,-, but will impose lower fine amounts. It is not excluded that in the future these amounts may be adjusted if they do not have the desired effect. All the amounts can be categorized in the three tables below.

Category A: Registration form is not filled out completely/correctly

Category B: The employee was not registered on time

Category C: Never registered any employees
