Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage compliance under the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 (as amended), including provident fund contributions where applicable at the establishment level, and progressive income tax withholding. We also manage festival bonuses, a widely practiced and, in many sectors, effectively mandatory payment tied to major religious holidays, typically equal to a portion of basic salary.
Private health coverage, transport allowances, and festival bonuses beyond the market baseline (commonly two per year) are strong differentiators in Bangladesh, particularly in the country’s fast-growing IT, ITES, and RMG (garment sector) outsourcing markets, which compete actively for skilled talent.
Notice periods under the Bangladesh Labour Act generally require 120 days for permanent workers in many categories (or payment in lieu), and termination compensation depends on the classification of the worker and grounds for dismissal. Bangladesh’s labor law framework is detailed and sector-specific in places, so classification matters significantly for compliant termination.
An EOR can typically onboard within one to two weeks for registration and contract issuance, compared with the several weeks to a couple of months needed to establish a Bangladeshi entity and register with the relevant tax and labor authorities.
Bangladesh’s sector-specific labor classifications and festival bonus expectations require local knowledge to apply correctly. An EOR manages that compliance and carries the liability, which is typically the practical route for accessing Bangladesh’s large, cost-competitive IT and outsourcing workforce.
