While both are related concepts, there are a few differences regarding their coverage and legal protection.

  • Workmen’s compensation insurance: The UAE government has made it a legal requirement for businesses to provide employees with financial support and protection during their injury, accident, or away-from-work day in the event of an accident at work. 
  • Employer’s liability: The employers liability policy protects the employer if an employee sues, claiming that the workplace is unsafe or hazardous. It shields the employer and their business by covering legal costs associated with defending against such claims.
