Contract Workforce Services in Bangladesh: Contract Workers Supplied, Paid and Kept Compliant
PayrollBangladesh supplies and manages contract workers for local and foreign companies operating in Bangladesh, including warehouse, factory, construction, cleaning, retail and office support staff. We recruit, employ and pay the workers and handle their Bangladesh Labour Act compliance, so you can add headcount for a project or peak season without growing your permanent payroll.

How Our Contract Workforce Service Works
We run every contract workforce engagement in five steps, from your first request to the end of the contract.
- 01Share your headcount and timeline. You tell us the roles, number of workers, site location, shift pattern and start date; we send you a written proposal.
- 02We recruit and screen workers. We source and screen candidates for each role and share the shortlist with you.
- 03Workers start at your site. We issue each worker an appointment letter and photo ID card, as s.5 of the Labour Act requires, and they report to your supervisor.
- 04We run payroll, attendance and compliance. Every wage period we pay wages and overtime, keep the attendance and wage records, and invoice you in USD or BDT.
- 05Scale up, extend or convert to permanent. Add or reduce workers, extend the contract, or move selected workers to your permanent payroll.
Contract Engagement Options
We offer three ways to engage a contract workforce, depending on how long you need the workers.
Project-based teams
A team for a defined project, released when the project ends.
Seasonal and peak-volume staffing
Extra workers for busy seasons, product launches or order peaks, without adding permanent headcount.
Temporary-to-permanent hiring
Start workers on contract, then move the ones you want to keep onto your own payroll.
What We Manage for You
As the workers’ employer, we take the employment administration off your desk.
Recruitment and replacement
We source, screen and onboard each worker, and fill the vacancy when a worker leaves.
Payroll and overtime
We pay wages every wage period and overtime at twice the ordinary rate, as s.108 of the Labour Act requires.
Statutory records and compliance
We keep the appointment letters, ID cards, attendance, wage and overtime records for each worker.
Confidentiality and IP protection
Worker contracts include a non-disclosure agreement and an assignment of intellectual property to your company.
Invoicing in USD or BDT
We invoice you in USD or BDT, so foreign and local companies can pay in the currency that suits them.
Headcount changes and exits
We handle headcount changes, contract extensions and each worker’s final pay when an engagement ends.
Contract Workforce FAQs
Answers to the questions companies ask us before engaging contract workers.
Who is the legal employer of the contract workers?
Under Section 3A of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, workers supplied by a contracting agency are treated as workers of that contractor. PayrollBangladesh employs, pays and keeps records for the workers, while your team directs their daily work on site.
Which roles can you fill with contract workers?
Warehouse and logistics workers, machine operators, general labour, construction workers, cleaning and waste-handling staff, retail staff, and admin or office support staff.
How long can a contract engagement run?
Engagements can cover a single project, a peak season or a longer ongoing assignment. You can extend the contract, change headcount, or move selected workers to your permanent payroll.
Who pays wages, overtime and statutory dues?
We do. We run payroll for every worker, pay overtime at twice the ordinary rate of basic wage and dearness allowance as Section 108 of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 requires, and maintain attendance, wage and overtime records.
How is our confidential information and intellectual property protected?
Worker contracts include a non-disclosure agreement and an assignment of intellectual property to your company.
Which currencies do you invoice in?
We invoice in USD or BDT, so foreign and local companies can pay in the currency that suits them.
