Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) contributions, generally 12% employer and 8% employee, and ETF (Employees’ Trust Fund) contributions of 3% from the employer, along with income tax (PAYE) withholding. We also manage statutory gratuity, payable after five years of continuous service at half a month’s salary per year.
Private health insurance, meal or transport allowances, and EPF/ETF contributions communicated clearly as part of total compensation are common differentiators in Sri Lanka’s growing BPO and IT outsourcing sector, which has expanded significantly as international companies look for cost-competitive, English-speaking talent.
Notice periods and termination procedures vary depending on the category of employee and applicable service rules, and Sri Lanka’s Termination of Employment of Workmen Act requires either employee consent or prior approval from the Commissioner of Labour for termination of certain categories of workers, which is a distinctive and often misunderstood requirement for international employers.
An EOR can typically onboard within one to two weeks for EPF and ETF registration, compared with the several weeks needed to incorporate a Sri Lankan entity and register with the Inland Revenue Department and EPF/ETF authorities.
Sri Lanka’s Commissioner of Labour approval requirement for certain terminations is a compliance step that’s easy to miss without local expertise. An EOR manages that process and the broader EPF/ETF compliance, carrying the liability, which is typically the practical route for accessing Sri Lanka’s cost-competitive outsourcing talent pool.
