Hiring, payroll, compliance and pricing — answered by our team.
Every answer below reflects the current position of our compliance team as of 2026-09-07. When a rule changes, we update the page and mark the changed section.
Hiring & onboarding
How fast can you onboard a Bangladesh hire?
Once we have the signed offer, national ID (NID), TIN and bank details, the first-day contract goes out within 5–7 business days. If we get the paperwork before the 22nd (payroll cutoff), the employee is on the next salary run, paid on the 28th.
Do I need a Bangladesh entity to use your EOR service?
No. EORBangladesh Ltd. (RJSC C-186423/2019) is the legal employer of record. You direct the day-to-day work; we handle every locally regulated obligation.
Can you hire non-Bangladeshi (expatriate) employees?
Yes, subject to work-permit approval. E-category and PI-category permits typically take 8–12 weeks through our immigration partner, Bengal Legal Consultants. We handle the whole file: BIDA, Special Branch, MoHA.
How does IP assignment work?
Every employment contract carries an IP-assignment schedule assigning all work-product IP to you (the client). Our MSA also mirrors this at the corporate level. Reviewed by Barrister Farhana Rahman on 2026-09-07.
Payroll, tax & benefits
What are Bangladesh's key statutory contributions?
Provident Fund (PF): employee contributes 7–8% of basic wages; employer matches. Anchored in the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, s.264. Gratuity: 30 days' wages per year for ≤10 years' service; 45 days for >10 years (s.2(10)). Two festival bonuses per year are traditional and contractual.
How is income tax withheld?
We calculate monthly TDS on the employee's cumulative annual income using the current NBR slab (FY 2025–26: 0% up to BDT 350,000 for men / 400,000 for women and seniors, then progressive to 30%). The withheld amount is deposited with NBR by the statutory deadline every month; half-yearly and annual returns are filed on time.
When does my invoice arrive and when is payroll paid?
Payroll cutoff is the 22nd of each month; salaries hit employee bank accounts on the 28th. Our monthly invoice (USD/EUR/GBP) is raised on the 25th, payable within 14 days. We fund payroll only after your invoice clears in most engagements; a customary reserve is discussed at MSA signature.
Which currencies can I be invoiced in?
USD, EUR or GBP — fixed at MSA signature. FX rate for that month's BDT payroll is the banking-partner mid-market rate on the 22nd cutoff.
Commercial & data
What is your pricing?
USD 249 / employee / month for teams of 1–9; USD 199 for teams of 10+. Payroll-only for companies with a local entity is USD 79 / employee / month. Full price sheet on the pricing page.
Is there a lock-in?
No. MSA runs on a 30-day notice either side. Individual employees exit under the notice period in their Labour-Act contract.
What's your data handling posture?
All PII hosted in AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai) with encrypted backup in Singapore. AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Named-access with SSO+2FA; quarterly reviews. Signed DPA available under NDA.
