Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 Compliance, Built Into Every Service

Employment in Bangladesh is governed by the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 (as amended) and the Bangladesh Labour Rules 2015. The obligations that most often catch employers out — especially international employers — involve documentation, statutory benefits and payroll deductions. Getting them wrong creates real liability; getting them right takes local expertise.

We build these rules into every employment contract, payslip and payroll run, so compliance is structural rather than an afterthought. For details, see our guides on overtime under the Labour Act and labour compliance in Bangladesh.

  • Written appointment letters for every employee
  • 48-hour standard week; overtime paid at 2× the basic rate
  • Two statutory festival bonuses per year
  • 16 weeks' paid maternity benefit for eligible employees
  • Casual, sick and earned leave administration
  • Lawful notice and termination benefits — up to 120 days for monthly-rated staff
  • Monthly tax deduction at source, deposited with the NBR

Have a Bangladesh Entity? We Run Your HR. No Entity Yet? Use Our EOR.

HR outsourcing on this page is for companies that already have a registered entity in Bangladesh: your company remains the legal employer, and we administer recruitment, payroll, tax and compliance on your behalf. PayrollBangladesh is part of the payroll.com.bd group, serving corporate clients across Bangladesh since 2010.

If you don't yet have a Bangladesh entity, HR outsourcing is not the right model. Our Employer of Record (EOR) service hires your staff under our local entity, so you can build a compliant team without company registration. Already registered and only need the pay run? Go straight to Payroll Outsourcing (PEO).

HR Outsourcing in Bangladesh — Frequently Asked Questions

1What does HR outsourcing include in Bangladesh?
A typical engagement covers recruitment, employment contracts, onboarding, monthly payroll in BDT, tax deduction at source, leave and attendance management, statutory benefit administration, and HR policy and compliance support. You can outsource the full function or select individual services such as payroll or recruitment only.
2Can you employ staff for us if we have no registered company in Bangladesh?
Not under HR outsourcing — that model requires your own Bangladesh entity. Instead, our Employer of Record (EOR) service hires your staff under our local entity, so you can build a compliant team in Bangladesh without company registration.
3What is the difference between HR outsourcing and an Employer of Record?
With HR outsourcing, your company remains the legal employer and we administer HR on your behalf. With an Employer of Record, PayrollBangladesh becomes the legal employer of your Bangladesh staff, carrying statutory employer obligations while you direct the day-to-day work.
4Do you manage provident fund, gratuity and festival bonuses?
Yes. Where a provident fund or gratuity scheme applies to your workforce, we administer contributions, records and settlements, and we process the two statutory festival bonuses for eligible employees as part of the normal payroll cycle.
5How is employee income tax handled in Bangladesh?
Employers must deduct income tax at source from salaries each month and deposit it with the National Board of Revenue. Bangladesh's tax year runs July to June. Our TDS processing service calculates, deducts, deposits and reports this for every employee.
6How much does HR outsourcing cost in Bangladesh?
Pricing depends on headcount and scope: full HR outsourcing is typically priced per employee per month, while consulting is project-based. We quote after a short assessment of your team size and requirements — request a free quote and we'll respond with a written proposal.
7What factors determine HR outsourcing pricing in Bangladesh?
Four factors drive the price: headcount, service scope (full HR versus payroll or recruitment only), payroll complexity (allowances, overtime patterns, multiple locations), and reporting requirements. Most engagements are billed per employee per month; one-off projects such as policy design are quoted separately. See our full pricing guide for details.
8How long does onboarding take before the first payroll run?
Onboarding time depends on headcount and the state of your existing records. After the service agreement is signed, we migrate employee data, contracts and payroll history, run a parallel test cycle, and then go live. We confirm a written go-live date during scoping.
9Is there a minimum headcount for HR outsourcing?
We support teams from Ten (10) employees up to several hundred. Smaller teams usually start with payroll and compliance only, since full HR outsourcing becomes more cost-effective as headcount grows. If your team is below that size, we will say so plainly during scoping and suggest the leaner option instead.
10How do you keep employee payroll data secure?
Employee data is processed under a written service agreement with confidentiality obligations and role-based access for our staff. Payroll records are stored on encrypted systems. Payslips are delivered through the password-protected e-Payslip portal rather than as email attachments.

Tell us your headcount and what you want off your plate — recruitment, payroll, compliance, or all of it. You'll get a written scope and quote, not a sales script.
