Permanent Employment Rules in Bangladesh
General information for foreign companies hiring permanent staff in Bangladesh. It is not legal advice. Rules change, so PayrollBangladesh confirms the current position for your case in writing.
Section 4 of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 sets probation at up to six months for clerical work and up to three months for other work. For skilled work, probation can be extended by three months if the worker’s quality cannot be judged in time. Once probation ends, the worker is treated as permanent.
Under Section 26, an employer ending a permanent worker’s job without cause gives 120 days’ written notice to a monthly-rated worker and 60 days to others, or pays wages in lieu. The worker also receives 30 days’ wages for each completed year of service, or gratuity if that is higher. Under Section 27, a permanent worker who resigns gives 60 days’ notice.
Section 5 requires every worker to receive an appointment letter and a photo identity card. We issue both for every permanent hire we employ.
The Bangladesh Labour (Amendment) Ordinance 2025, gazetted on 17 November 2025, widened the definition of worker and requires establishments with 100 or more permanent workers to keep a provident fund. Parliament has since passed an amendment bill that changed parts of the ordinance, so we check the current text before every hire.
