Bangladesh has no single national minimum wage. The garment sector (RMG) has a minimum wage of BDT 12,500/month (from 2023), EPZ workers receive BDT 12,800/month (from Dec 2023), while other sectors have industry-specific minimum wage boards.
Standard working hours are 8 hours/day, 48 hours/week. Overtime is limited to up to 2 extra hours/day (max 60 hours/week) and must be paid at 200% of regular wages.
PIT is progressive with income above BDT 600,000/year being taxable. Employers use a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) system to deduct tax monthly. Advance tax is required based on the higher of last year's tax or 75% of estimated liability.
Permanent employees earn 1 day of paid leave for every 18 days worked (approximately 21-22 days/year). Workers are entitled to 11 days of public or religious holidays annually. Maternity leave is 16 weeks paid leave (8 weeks before + 8 weeks after childbirth) for eligible female employees with minimum 6 months service.
If a provident fund is established, both employee and employer typically contribute 7-8% of base wage each. After 5+ years of service, employees are entitled to gratuity of 1 month's basic salary per completed year (or 45 days if over 10 years).
Minimum notice period is 120 days for employees with over 1 year of service. Termination must have legal grounds (misconduct, incapacity, redundancy). Retrenchment compensation may apply in some cases. Unlawful termination can result in financial penalties.
Companies that are profitable must contribute 5% of profits into the Workers' Profit Participation Fund (WPPF). This is a mandatory requirement under Bangladesh labor law for profitable companies.
On average, it takes 3-10 business days, including contract signing, tax code registration, and provident fund setup.
